Newsbreakers

July 22, 2009

Clete Thomas went 1-for-4 with a single, and recorded the Tigers' lone RBI in tonight's 2-1 loss to Seattle at Comerica Park.

Our View:

Thomas is batting .391 over 23 at-bats this month, with two homers and eight RBI. Keep him active in fantasy leagues while hitting well.

July 19, 2009

Clete Thomas provided all of the offensive production for the Tigers on Sunday, but it wasn't enough as his team fell to the Yankees by the score of 2-1. Thomas went 1-for-4 with a solo home run.

Our View:

Thomas is putting together some nice numbers is his limited duty so far this season, and if he keeps it up he could be a nice fantasy addition. It remains to be seen if Thomas will play every day in the second half, but he has six homers in his 39 games played.

July 12, 2009

Clete Thomas led the way for the Tigers on Sunday in their 10-1 win over the Indians. Thomas went 3-for-4 with a triple, a home run, two runs scored, and five RBI.

Our View:

Thomas now has five homers and 25 RBI on the year, and he has only played in 37 games. If he plays every day, he could be worth a look in AL-only leagues. He has the ability a help a fantasy team, but his value will depend on how much he sees the field.

July 7, 2009

Clete Thomas has been recalled from Triple-A Toledo by the Tigers, according to TSN. Shortstop Don Kelly was designated for assignment to make room on the roster.

Our View:

The Tigers are very high on Thomas, and he could see enough action in the Tigers' outfield to be useful for deeper fantasy leagues. He was sent down to the minors to work on shortening his swing.

June 11, 2009

Clete Thomas has been optioned to Triple-A Toledo by the Tigers, according to the Detroit News. The club purchased the contract of infielder/outfielder Don Kelly as the adjoining move.

Our View:

Thomas has not been hitting well, and skipper Jim Leyland sent him down to the minors to work on shortening his swing.

June 7, 2009

Clete Thomas carried the Tigers in Sunday's 9-6 win over the Angels at Comerica Park, as he went 1-for-2 with a grand slam off Jason Bulger.

Our View:

Thomas replaced Miguel Cabrera as a pinch-runner in the game. Thomas claimed his first homer of June, and his fourth of the season.

May 8, 2009

Clete Thomas was 2-for-4 on Friday and drove in the only run of the game in a 1-0 win over the Indians.

Our View:

Thomas has made an impact right away for the Tigers. In three games he's already driven in three runs and is hitting .455. He should continue to see consistent at-bats with Carlos Guillen on the shelf.

May 5, 2009

Clete Thomas made his presence felt in his 2009 debut on Tuesday, going 3-for-4 with two runs and two RBI. He was hitting third in the order after being called up to replace the injured Carlos Guillen.

Our View:

Thomas could be worth a look in AL-only leagues as he should get plenty of at-bats with Guillen out. If he continues to hit in the middle of the order, his fantasy value will increase tremendously.

May 5, 2009

The Tigers recalled Clete Thomas from Triple-A Toledo Tuesday to replace the injured Carlos Guillen on the roster.

Our View:

Thomas could get a decent number of starts in left while Guillen is out. He's worth a look in AL-only leagues.

March 31, 2009

Clete Thomas has been optioned to Triple-A Toledo by the Tigers, according to the Sports Network.

Our View:

Thomas is coming off September Tommy John surgery, and was unable to compete for a role in the Tigers' outfield.

March 25, 2009

Clete Thomas went 2-for-5 with two RBI in Wednesday's 10-6 win over the Mets. He hit a single and a double.

Our View:

This was a solid performance, especially considering that he is coming off September Tommy John surgery on his right elbow.
