The Tigers gave 43-year old lefty Kenny Rogers a 1-year, $8 million dollar contract. Rogers only started 11 games last season for the Tigers due to a severe injury that required surgery. He was 3-4 with a 4.43 ERA and a 1.43 WHIP last season for the Tigers. Rogers has now pitched in 732 games (444 starts) in his major league career and he is 210-143 with 28 saves, a 4.19 ERA and a 1.39 WHIP. This was a good move for the Tigers because they need Rogers’ veteran leadership for the young rotation. Cruceta hasn’t pitched in the majors since 2006 with Seattle. He has only pitched in 6 games (3 starts) in his major league career and he is 0-1 with a 10.05 ERA and a 2.09 WHIP. He has pitched 14.1 innings and he has allowed 20 hits, walked 10 batters and whiffed 11. He will have a hard time making the final roster.
