The Tigers finalized their opening day roster this morning by optioning Clete Thomas to Toledo. Don Kelly wins the 25th spot on the roster largely due to the need for a backup third baseman with Brandon Inge still not 100% after knee surgery. Here is the 25 man roster:

  1. Lee,

    Not a real surprise that DK made it over Clete. I think the larger question is, what to do with the glut of outfielders at Toledo? Any chance that one of them gets moved in the next few days and, if so, who would you put your money on?

  2. Scott,

    I think Strieby will mostly DH. So, they have Thomas, Boesch, Ramirez and Wells in an outfield rotation. I don't know if they'll move anybody. Thomas will probably be called up to replace Kelly once Inge is 100%.
