Roster moves today:
Porcello will start the season in the rotation.
Ryan Perry will start the season in the bullpen.
Raburn and Rapada sent down to Toledo.
Hessman placed on waivers. If he clears waivers, it sounds like he will look for work in Japan before accepting the minor league stint in Toledo. Do not blame him one bit.
When Jeremy Bonderman went on the DL, it opened the door for Porcello and he walked through it by having some very good spring training outings. Good for him. Congratulations young man! Welcome to the big leagues.
By all accounts, Perry was one of the most impressive youngsters in camp this year. He earned his spot in Detroit from the beginning of spring training and did not require an injury to make it. Double congrats!
Will Porcello and Perry turn into Verlander/Zumaya from 2006? Will it be enough? What if they are Verlander/Zumaya AND we get the real Justin and Joel back this year? Can't let myself think of that possibility...too good to think about....must resist the thought.
