The Detroit Tigers sign Brent Dlugach
The Tigers have signed 28-year old righty swinging infielder Brent Dlugach to a minor league deal. Dlugach played in 63 games in AAA-ball last year for the Red Sox and he was 48 for 216 (.222 avg, .626 OPS) with 30 runs scored, 6 homers, 25 RBIs and 4 stolen bases. His only taste of the majors came back in 2009 with the Tigers. He played in 5 games for the Tigers last year and he was 0 for 3 (.000 avg, .000 OPS) with 1 run scored and 2 whiffs. He will be a longshot to win a bench job for the Tigers this spring.
