Tigers Eyeing Free-Agent Lefty Beimel

By Mike McClary in Featured,Hot Stove | 1 comment

So says Jon Paul Morosi by way of Jason Beck:

Beimel, 31, went 5-1 with a 2.02 ERA in 71 appearances with the Los Angeles Dodgers this year. Left-handers batted .278 against him but had only three extra-base hits, all doubles. Beimel has allowed only one home run over the past two seasons.

If the Tigers sign a lefty, Beimel or whomever, I wonder if it means Bobby Seay or Clay Rapada are shown the door. Would Jim Leyland keep three lefties – not counting wild card Macay McBride – in the bully?

    I don’t know that I’d let Seay walk, but losing Rapada doesn’t seem like a huge loss. Frankly, he hasn’t shown me much.
