Tigers call-up Dolsi

June 22, 2009

The Tigers have called up- in my opinion- their closer of the future.  Freddy Dolsi does a nice job closing out games but this year he will be a nice seventh inning guy.  His only flaw he needs to fix before being a dominant reliever is his ratio.  I think he just needs to work on his stuff and control this year to be a great late inning reliever.  Dolsi has all the makings of a good closer and should get 30 saves annually.  Now that he is a middle reliever I think he should get at least 15 holds.  Dolsi probably won’t have a super year this year, but should develop his whole potential.  The Tigers sent down Ryan Perry, who is a great reliever but needs to work on a couple things in the minors, he should come up a better pitcher.  Good Move?: Yes, barely
