Kouzmanoff will have a chance to earn a utility job after spending last season with Colorado and Oakland, while Miner is trying to come back from Tommy John surgery.

According to Jon Morosi of FOXSports.com, the Royals have signed Zach Miner of a minor league contract.  Miner missed all of the 2010 after undergoing surgery on his right elbow. Morosi later adds that the Royals are looking at Miner as a potential starter but it all depends on how well he performs in spring training to show the club that he has rebounded from his Tommy John surgery...

Another month passes and another long reliever leaves the Tigers. MLBTR passed along today that the Kansas City Royals have signed now former Tiger Zach Miner to a minor league contract.

- Zach Miner has been designated for assignment. Assuming he clears (I’m sure he will), he’ll be a free agent on Friday.  But the Tigers are likely to bring him back.  He’s been a great spot starter and will be a good long man starting off in 2011.  Good info on the rationale for taking Miner off of the 40 man in lieu of a minor leaguer in yesterday’s Freep...

My stream of consciousness on the Tigers most recent two games against the Red Sox, Zach Miner’s injury, and what ever else comes to mind. Beating the Red Sox Honestly, I’m thrilled with the series.

PREGAME: The Tigers look to squeak out a series win. They'll send out Zach Miner who is trying to lock up a spot in next year's rotation. If Jim Leyland is as intent on performance dictating play time as he claims to be, if Miner can continue to pitch like he has [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Game 124: Orioles at Tigers", url: "http://www.detroittigersweblog...

PREGAME: I'm going out to enjoy a lovely day on the beach. When I settle in tonight I'll see if the Tigers as a collective team have anything left - like pride, or if they simply mail in the season.
