WDFN Sports Radio 1130 AM in Detroit reports Detroit Tigers CL Troy Percival (forearm) suffered a torn forearm muscle and will miss four-to-six weeks of action. He has been placed on the disabled list.[/b]

That would make Urbina the most likely closer, correct?

that's look like the case to me..

[The G-Man]

Yes, Urbina is the closer.

[The Loveable Losers]

Bleah...he was already on 3/4 teams in my 12 team roto leagues. I only got to snag him in one of them.

[The G-Man]

I have him but have enough closers. Any idea what I can get for Urbina in a trade?

[ChoneJohn]

urbina is a stud...you should be able to get a pretty decent player for him (although the fact taht the tigers haven't given their closer many save opps. might hurt his value). i'd push the rumors that urbina will be someone's closer from here on in...when percy comes back he could be headed to the cubs, depending on what borowski does when he comes back.

Please God dont ever let me read Urbina and stud in the same sentence ever again. There is a reason the Tigers felt the need to go get Percival in the offseason. I guess if being a major reason why the Tigers led the majors in blown saves last year makes you a stud then by all means Urbina is your man. The only good thing about him is the fact that he got some major hype from somewhere and there are foolish people out there that actually think he is good. If you have try to move him fast cause his value is sure to go down once the blown saves start rolling in like last year.
