September 23, 2009

September 13, 2009
Magglio Ordonez had three hits on Sunday as the Tigers beat the Blue Jays 7-2. Ordonez was 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in the win.
Our View:
Maggs had a solid swing today, and he helped the Tigers take down the Jays. He is hitting the ball well in the the last month or so, and he should continue to see time in the lineup if he keeps hitting.
September 10, 2009
Magglio Ordonez went 3-for-4 in the Tigers' 7-4 loss to the Royals on Thursday. All three hits were singles.
Our View:
After seeing his playing time cut due to a miserable start to the season, Mag-Pipes has turned it on lately. He hit .348 in August and has followed up nicely in September with an even .500 average. More games like this could lead to more playing time for the veteran outfielder.
September 2, 2009
Magglio Ordonez helped lead the Tigers in tonight's 4-2 win over the Indians at Comerica Park, as he went 3-for-4 with an RBI. All three of his knocks were singles.
Our View:
Ordonez raised his batting average to .281. He continues to hit well after batting .348 in August.
August 29, 2009
The beleaguered Magglio Ordonez drove in the Tigers' only run with an eighth inning single on Saturday, as Detroit lost 3-1 to the Rays at home.
Our View:
Mags still has just seven home runs in 2009, and if you still own him outside of an AL-only league, you are only hurting yourself.
August 16, 2009
Magglio Ordonez hit his seventh home run in the Tigers' 3-2 loss to the Royals on Sunday. He was 1-for-4 on the day.
Our View:
Mag-pipes just can't seem to get it going this season. He's hitting over .350 in August, but is still only hitting .271 on the year. A far cry from his .310 career average.
August 4, 2009
Magglio Ordonez went 2-for-5 with a pair of singles and an RBI in tonight's 8-2 loss to Baltimore at Comerica Park.
Our View:
Ordonez has a hit in seven of his last eight games, and ended an eight-game skid without an RBI.
July 21, 2009
Magglio Ordonez led the Tigers offensively in tonight's 9-7 win over Seattle at Comerica Park, as he went 1-for-3 with a grand slam off Garrett Olson.
Our View:
Ordonez hit his fifth homer and first grand slam of the season. He also set a season-high for 2009 with four RBI in a game. He was in need of a strong showing as he was only batting .222 in July heading into tonight's battle.
July 8, 2009
According to the Detroit News, the Tigers have announced that slumping slugger Magglio Ordonez will only play against left-handed pitchers.
Our View:
So Mag-Pipes has been reduced to a platoon player. He still needs 166 plate appearances for his $18 million contract option to kick in next season, and at this rate it doesn't look like he'll get it. It's a crafty move by the Tigers, and you go to the bank knowing Scott Boras won't be happy about it. Ordonez is hitting .260 with 4 homers and 28 RBI this season.
July 4, 2009
Magglio Ordonez homered for only the second time since April 27 on Saturday, and drove in all three Tigers runs in a 4-3 losing effort in Minnesota.
Our View:
Magglio was benched again on Friday, and maybe this time it actually inspired him. He still has a long way to go toward being declared out of his horrific power slump, but Saturday was a good start.
July 3, 2009
According to MLBlogs.com, Magglio Ordonez is on the bench for Friday's game against the Twins.
Our View:
Ordonez is in the midst of a 2-for-20 slump, in the midst of a miserable season at the plate. The Twins sent Kevin Slowey to the mound and left-handers crush his pitches, so Manager Jim Leyland stacked the lineup with lefties and kept the right-handed hitting Ordonez on the bench.
June 27, 2009
According to Jason Beck's twitter account, Magglio Ordonez is out of the lineup for Saturday's contest against the Astros.
Our View:
This is likely just an off day for the slumping outfielder. Don Kelly will start in his place, playing right field and hitting fifth.
June 23, 2009
The Detroit News is reporting that Tigers' outfielder Magglio Ordonez is back in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs after being benched for four games. Ordonez will hit seventh in the order and play right field.
Our View:
There had been some speculation that Ordonez would remain out tonight, but manager Jim Leyland decided to give him the go. We will now see if the benching allowed Mags to clear his head, or if it just further frustrated him.
June 22, 2009
Magglio Ordonez may sit out another game Tuesday against the Cubs, according to MLive.com.
Our View:
Skipper Jim Leyland is thinking about returning Ordonez to the starting lineup Tuesday, but may continue to hold him out against Cubs' ace hurler Carlos Zambrano. Ordonez has not been hitting up to expectations, and Leyland sent him to the bench to get away and clear his head a bit. Stay tuned for updates regarding his status.
June 21, 2009
Magglio Ordonez may draw back into the Tigers' lineup Tuesday when they start a series with the Cubs, according to MLB.com.
Our View:
Ordonez has been benched to get away and clear his head. He spent the last several days taking batting practice with hitting coach Lloyd McClendon. Ordonez would have a tough assignment against Cubs' ace Carlos Zambrano if he returns to the starting lineup Tuesday.
June 18, 2009
Magglio Ordonez will ride the pine indefinitely, according to the Detroit News.
Our View:
Ordonez has not been hitting up to expectations with a .273 batting average and only two homers over 57 games, and skipper Jim Leyland is benching him to clear his head. It is uncertain when he may return to the starting lineup, and Ordonez should be held out of fantasy lineups until further notice.
June 5, 2009
Magglio Ordonez went 2-for-4 and recorded the Tigers' lone RBI in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Angels at Comerica Park. He hit a single and a double.
Our View:
Ordonez ended an eight-game skid without an RBI. He has a hit in three of his last four games though, and hit .315 in May.
May 29, 2009
Magglio Ordonez was 3-for-4 in the Tigers' 7-2 loss to the Orioles on Friday.
Our View:
Magg-pipes has been disappointing this season, with just two homers and 19 RBI, but has been putting together a nice little streak as of late. Including Friday's game he has hit in 15 straight games and has his average up to .275.
May 23, 2009
Magglio Ordonez returned to Detroit's lineup for the first time of the week on Saturday, going 1-for-3 with a walk, a run and his first stolen base of the season.
Our View:
Ordonez had spent the previous five days out due to personal matters. He remains a steady yet unspectacular option in the outfield.
May 22, 2009
According to the Miami Herald, the Tigers have activated Magglio Ordonez from the bereavement list. Ordonez missed last week while tending to his wife, who underwent surgery.
Our View:
Hopefully the break recharged Magglio's batteries, because he has not been good this season. Ordonez owners should watch him carefully over the next few weeks to see if he starts to improve at the plate.
May 16, 2009
MLB.com is reporting that Magglio Ordonez will miss next week's series against the Rangers due to a personal matter. Ordonez will play Saturday and Sunday and will then be gone until either Thursday or Friday.
Our View:
Ordonez was finally starting to hit the ball, so this seems to be bad timing. Adjust your lineups for next week, but play him for the next two days until he leaves.
May 14, 2009
Magglio Ordonez went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Thursday's 6-5 loss at Minnesota. His hit was a single.
Our View:
Ordonez extended his hitting streak to five games, but collected his first RBI over the span today.
May 13, 2009
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that struggling outfielder Magglio Ordonez has clauses in his contract that guarantee options on the next two years of his contract if he plays a specfic number of games.
Our View:
With his struggles so far this season and his age, the Tigers may have a decision to make on Ordonez's status. If Ordonez doesn't start hitting, there may be a possibility that the Tigers would release him to avoid being on the hook for his contract next season. Watch closely how Maggs plays over the next few weeks.
May 10, 2009
Magglio Ordonez was back in the lineup on Sunday as the Tigers defeated the Indians 5-3. The struggling outfielder hit sixth in the lineup and finished 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, and two runs scored.
Our View:
Ordonez was a healthy scratch in Saturday's win. He had just one hit in his last 14 at bats prior to today's game. We expect him to bring the average up but his power has really been lacking. Today was his first double and just his third extra base hit.
May 9, 2009
According to Cleveland.com, Magglio Ordonez is out of the lineup for Saturday's game. He is a healthy scratch.
Our View:
The Tigers are loading up on lefties to face Fausto Carmona tonight, and Mag-Pipes' .229 average and right-handedness made him the odd man out. He should be back in on Sunday.
May 6, 2009
Magglio Ordonez is hitting just .232 with two home runs and 12 RBI through 99 ABs and no one quite seems to know why he is struggling other than he is dealing with a few off field issues according to manager Jim Leyland, according to the Tigers Official Website.
Our View:
The club has tried using Orodonez at DH hoping it will allow him to focus solely on hitting, and it has somewhat as he is 5-for-17 in that role (.294). Too talented to fall off the map, expect Ordonez to rebound in short order.
April 13, 2009
Magglio Ordonez was 1-for-2 with three walks, two runs scored, and a strike out as the Tigers fell to the White Sox 10-6 on Monday.
Our View:
Maggs has yet to record an extra base hit through eight games. His power should come around soon.
March 14, 2009
Magglio Ordonez went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in Venezuela's 3-1 win over the Netherlands on Saturday. He is hitting a mere .188 in the WBC.
Our View:
Mags should be treating 2009 as a walk year as his 2010 option would pay him $18 million. He is not having a good tournament by any means, but he should remain better than a .300 hitter in the upcoming season.
