Blogger collaborations and Clete Thomas

I was recently asked to participate in some all-star break collaborations with other bloggers. First, Jeeves at Life in the Cell (a White Sox blog) compiled a Mid-season summary of the AL Central teams. The Tigers representatives were Kurt at Mack Avenue and myself.

Then, Blake at Spot Starters asked a group of Tigers bloggers to answer several questions on the state of the Tigers at the break. Participants included Kurt, Billfer, Ian and myself.

In other news, the Tigers have optioned Clete Thomas to Toledo to make room for Magglio Ordonez who will return to the Tigers line-up tomorrow night. I had thought they might send back Jeff Larish but they probably need him to back up first baseman Miguel Cabrera who is still dealing with a strained hip flexor. If they need to add a 12th pitcher later in the week, then Larish may go back then.
