Denny out…
Zumaya in, Denny Bautista out.
This kind of surprises me, but I guess it really doesn’t matter. Having Casey Fossum or Denny Bautista on the team wasn’t going to make or break Detroit’s playoff chances. I imagine if Bonine is absolutely horrid tonight then Fossum will get a couple of starts, at least until Lopez ’stretches out’ a little more in Toledo.
In other words… compared to what I felt was poor player management that might have cost Detroit some games earlier this year (with the handling of Sheffield’s injury, his left field stint, etc), this move provokes little emotion. It probably does point to Detroit hanging onto Todd Jones for the rest of the year.
