The Detroit Tigers have claimed Kelvin De La Cruz off waivers from the Indians
The Tigers have claimed 23-year old lefty starter/reliever Kelvin De La Cruz off waivers from the Indians. De La Cruz pitched in 23 games (16 starts) in AA-ball last year and he was 5-6 with 2 saves, a 4.19 ERA and a 1.48 WHIP. He has now pitched in 105 games (93 starts) in his first six years in the minors and he is 32-28 with 2 saves, a 4.21 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP. It never hurts to swipe a talented lefty from a division rival (the Indians), so I like this move for them.
