RICK PORCELLO RUMORS
Tigers' Porcello between ace and bust
Leading up to the 2007 draft, current New York Mets sensation Matt Harvey wasn't the consensus top high school pitcher in the country.

Rick Porcello had one of the worst starts in baseball history on Saturday
Rick Porcello made history on Saturday, but not the kind he’ll want to be remembered for. The Detroit Tigers right-hander logged one of the worst starts in Major League Baseball history in a 10-0 loss to the Los Angeles Angels.
Porcello toe’d the slab in Anaheim for the Tigers, and lasted just two-thirds of an inning, but it was an incredibly long two-thirds of an inning....

Porcello's curveball embarrasses Donaldson
Josh Donaldson nearly hurting himself thinking he needed to get out of the way of a Rick Porcello pitch in the 9th inning, only to realize it was a breaking ball and he didn't, was the most embarrassing thing to be captured on tape of anyone wearing A's gear on Sunday. (Yes, way more embarrassing than the young A's fan who threw a foul ball back after his Dad gave it...

Why the Detroit Tigers should move on from Rick Porcello

He has given up just 10 hits, fanned 14, and opposing batters are hitting just .208 against him. Even more impressive is he has not issued a walk, and he has done so [...]
Detroit Tigers rumors: Porcello peaking interest
The Detroit Tigers and Rick Porcello trade rumors are likely to crank into overdrive in the coming weeks. It’s kind of becoming the Tigers equivalent of what the Diamondbacks experienced with Justin Upton.

Detroit Tigers rumors: the Porcello/Smyly debate
The Detroit Tigers kick off their spring training slate of games today with an exciting look. Batting 3-4-5 will be Miguel Cabrera, Prince Fielder, and Victor Martinez.

Fortunately, the Tigers have a nucleus of players that are under team control for years to come. The window is now,...
