As Detroit Tigers fans impatiently await the club to spring into action on some of the remaining big names that can fill holes, Scott Harris seems more focused on tinkering around the margins.
The bullpen has been the only area of concern that the Tigers have truly addressed. It is a unit that looks better on paper than what was run out there last year, thanks to the re-signing of Kyle Finnegan and the stabilizing presence that top free-agent acquisition Kenley Jansen brings to the table.
That hasn't stopped Harris from scouring for other potential improvements, but his latest dart throw, signing former New York Yankees' trade deadline bust Scott Effross to a minor league contract, shouldn't inspire much confidence.
