Tigers at trade deadline: Toledo has bullpen help

There is no such thing as a holiday — a pitching holiday, free from disruption — at Triple-A Toledo.

And that works not only for the Tigers, but in a counter-intuitive way, for Mud Hens manager Lloyd McClendon.

It just means his bullpen, his largely unflappable bullpen, will probably get extra work.

Take that latest news-jolt from the Mud Hens clubhouse: Garrett Hill, yet another of Toledo’s alleged starting pitchers, has been summoned to start a Monday game for the Tigers at Comerica Park.

It’s like this all the time for McClendon: Beau Brieske, Alex Faedo, Rony Garcia, Wily Peralta, Elvin Rodriguez, Drew Hutchison, Joey Wentz — McClendon has the concession stand for starting pitchers in Detroit.
