Bear Den to Tiger Pen
The Cubs traded Kyle Farmsworth to the Detroit Tigers today. Farnsworth might do well in Detroit. He has a great K per 9 but tends to give up the long ball. Comerica is a tough HR park, so I could see Kyle doing well at home this season.
Update: More here from the Cub Reporter.

It looks like the Tigers are comfortable enough with their rotation, and bringing in Farnsworth may help them hold onto any leads they get. This could be a good move, especially if Farnsworth continues to improve his slider... I just hope he does not turn out to be another Matt Anderson.
So who's going to be the PTBNL? Franklyn German? He's been good in Toledo, but not so good up in Detroit. He can't harness his stuff against major league hitters. Pity, 'cause he seems like a nice guy.
