The Tigers rounded out their 40 man roster today by claiming RHP Evan Reed off waivers from the Miami Marlins. He was assigned to Triple A Toledo and will pitch out of the bullpen.
Reed was drafted in the third round by the Texas Rangers in the 2007 draft. Last year he split time between Double A and Triple A in the Marlins organization. He appeared in 50 games, compiling a 5-4 record and 4.68 ERA. He has spent six seasons in the minors and has yet to appear in the majors. In those six seasons, he has a record of 19-19 with an ERA of 4.09.
At the age of 27, Reed may be a life time minor leaguer thus far, but he'll get his chance to impress. Bullpen depth is never a bad thing to have.
