Newsbreakers
August 12, 2009
Zach Miner got the spot start on Wednesday and was greeted with five runs in 4.2 innings courtesy of the Boston Red Sox. He allowed seven hits and two walks and was saddled with the loss as the Tigers fell 8-2.
Our View:
This is the first time Minor has started since May 2nd, and he was clearly affected by his lack of stamina. He's 5-3 on the season, but most of his decisions have come from his bullpen appearances.
August 12, 2009
The Boston Globe reports that Zach Miner will get the start against the Red Sox on Wednesday.
Our View:
Miner likely won't last long on Wednesday as he pitched two innings on Monday and warmed up in Tuesday's game. The Tigers will probably need to lean on their bullpen quite a bit, making Miner a risky fantasy start. He replaces Armando Galarraga who is out with a sore throat.
May 7, 2009
The Detroit Free Press reports that Zach Miner will be moved back to the bullpen to make room for Dontrelle Willis in the Tigers rotation.
Our View:
Miner was mediocre through four starts this season. He was 2-1 with a 4.50 ERA but battled control problems that led to 11 walks in 20 innings and a 1.75 WHIP. He figures to be a long relief option out of the pen.
May 2, 2009
Zach Miner was rocked for five earned runs on six hits over five innings in Saturday's 9-7 win over the Indians at Comerica Park. He had five strikeouts with three walks.
Our View:
The Tigers rallied to score three runs in the eighth inning, and Miner was dealt a no-decision rather than a loss. Both of his wins this season have been claimed on the road.
April 14, 2009
According to the Detroit Free Press, Zach Miner has been moved to the bullpen following his start in Monday's game. Miner has given up 15 hits and nine runs in his two starts this season.
Our View:
This move is being made because the Tigers will not need a fifth starter until April 25 in Kansas City, however it remains to be see if Miner will be that fifth starter when that day rolls around. Check for updates on Miner's status.
April 13, 2009
Zach Miner was rocked for eight earned runs on nine hits over a mere 3.1 innings of work in Monday's 10-6 loss to the White Sox at home. He issued three walks with one strikeout, and gave up three home runs.
Our View:
Miner only allowed one earned run in his season debut against the Blue Jays at pitcher friendly Rogers Centre, but gravely struggled in his first home outing at hitter-friendly Comerica Park. Miner drops to 2-6 over over 13 career games (five starts) against AL Central rival Chicago.
April 13, 2009
Zach Miner will be aiming for his second win of the season when he takes the hill against the division rival White Sox at Comerica Park today.
Our View:
Miner only allowed one earned run in his season debut, but he is 2-5 with a 5.29 ERA over 13 career games (four starts) against Chicago. Expectations should be lowered for today, especially since the Sox are coming off back-to-wins over Minnesota.
April 3, 2009
Zach Miner wasn't exactly efficient in his final spring start on Friday in Atlanta. He allowed three runs on four hits while striking out two and walking four.
Our View:
Miner, who recently landed a spot in the Tigers' rotation, needed 85 pitches to get through just four and two-thirds innings. It's starts like this that make him barely worthy of consideration in AL-only leagues.
April 1, 2009
MLive.com reports that Zach Miner has won a spot in the Tigers opening day rotation. Miner has a 5.87 ERA through 23 innnings this spring.
Our View:
Miner bounced between the rotation and the bullpen in 2008, but he was fairly successful with a 4.27 ERA and an 8-5 record. However, he walks too many hitters and does not register enough strikeouts to be considered for fantasy purposes.
March 10, 2009
Zach Miner took the loss on Tuesday after allowing seven hits and three runs in three innings of work against St. Louis.
Our View:
Miner's role is still not set but he should make the Tigers and be a factor this season. His fantasy value only sits in much deeper AL-only leagues.
February 19, 2009
Zach Miner only needed to miss one day of camp with a stomach ailment, according to the Detroit News.
Our View:
Skipper Jim Leyland is not sure if Miner should be a starter or reliever, but he is expected to make the Tigers' opening day roster either way. The 26-year-old hurler is worth a look in deeper AL-only leagues.
February 16, 2009
Manager Jim Leyland is not sure if Zach Miner is best-suited to be a starter or reliever, according to the Detroit News.
Our View:
Miner projects to work in the bullpen this season, but should make the opening day roster either way.
