RYAN RABURN RUMORS & GOSSIP

2011 TigsTown Player Capsule: Ryan Raburn

Tigers fans have gotten to know Ryan Raburn over the years as a streaky hitter that can play all over the field, notorious for mediocre glove work and cold first half starts. And in 2011, Raburn did little to change that opinion of him.

Tigers Free Agency: Why Signing Kelly Johnson Makes Sense

There is no secret that the Detroit Tigers have a huge gap at second-base. During the 2011 MLB season it was a merry-go-round at second-base. Five different players (Will Rhymes, Ryan Raburn, Ramon Santiago, Scott Sizemore, Carl0s Guillen) were at the position through out the 2011 season. With MLB free-agency in full swing the Tigers will need to look for someone to fill that gapping...

Ryan Raburn with the Play of the Year

Let me rephrase the title, "Ryan Raburn with the INFAMOUS Play of the Year." In what will go down in the top 100 MLB blunders in history, Ryan Raburn got an assist on a home run hit by the Seattle Mariners Tuesday night. In scientific measurement, Detroit Tiger's outfielder Ryan Raburnt gave a 26 foot assist. He is wearing shades, so be prepared for the "sun was in my eyes...

Ryan Raburn pulled a Canseco

No, he didn’t go on a reality show, or have a twin brother box in place of him, he just missed a flyball and it resulted in a home run. It wasn’t off his head, but still pretty bad. For those that may have forgot, here is the classic Canseco clip:

Fantasy Baseball Sleeper Ryan Raburn

Ryan Raburn is NOT a young stud fresh from Triple A ball. He’s got five partial years in the bigs, though until last year few had heard his name at all. Raburn quietly put together a decent season in Detroit last year playing a part-time role, similar to what he did in 2009. He saw action in only 113 games in 2010, but he gets his shot as an every day player in 2011. The move...

Tigers Sign Ryan Raburn for Two Years

The Detroit Tigers announced today that they have reached agreement on a two-year contract with OF Ryan Raburn. Raburn, 29, was eligible for salary arbitration for the first time this year, this new contract eliminates the possibility, but Detroit will still control Raburn for a year beyond his new deal as an arbitration-eligible player. The terms of the contract have not yet been...

Ryan Raburn, 2011 Fantasy Sleeper

Me no happy Ryan Raburn doesn’t have 2nd base eligibility across all formats.  He missed starting 20 games at 2nd by two games.  Deuces are wild.  Or as they say in LA nightclubs, douches are wild.  If Leyland wasn’t out having a smoke, Raburn would’ve got those last two games.  Switch to Vapor Pro!  (Which reminds me… Recently, I went to visit a friend...

Wanted – Right Fielder

On a couple of different levels, this piece by Jason Beck about the Tigers looking for a right fielder is interesting.  The first interesting tidbit I took out of it was that it looks like the Tigers are set on Ryan Raburn as the team’s starting leftfielder.  After a breakout 2009, Raburn got off to [...]

Ryan Raburn Makes Me Eat My Words

I’ve never been a big Ryan Raburn fan. Previously, when he came up as a topic of conversation, I was quick to scoff at his so-called “versatility” in the field, and I was quick to dismiss his 2009 campaign as a fluke. Ryan was kind enough to prove me right for April, May, June, and July, but since August began, he’s been beating up on opposing pitching in a way that would...

Does Ryan Raburn Have Staying Power?

Ryan Raburn has hit three home runs in his last four games, has attempted steals in his last two games, and has five multiple hit games in his last seven. Raburn has eligibility at first base, second base, and all three outfield positions, but up until the last week or so it has not done him much good. That's because part of being a utility player usually means that you are not...
