The Tigers get Urbina

After all the free agents the Tigers signed this offseason I thought they were done. Well it turns out I was wrong. Today they signed free agent closer Ugueth Urbina to a 1 year,3.5 million dollar deal. He is a very solid veteren closer. Urbina went 3-4 with a 2.81 ERA and 32 saves in the regular season with Texas and Florida last season. He also had 4 more saves in the playoffs(2 of wich were in the World Series) Urbina hasn't pitched since closing out game 6 of the World Series last October. Before they signed Urbina they sent Matt Anderson to Triple-A Toledo. Sending Matt Anderson down to the minors left one open spot on the Tigers' 40 man roster. Urbina said that he already felt at home. He is good friends with former Marlin Pudge Rodriguez. This is a big signing for the Tigers. They haven't have a good closer in a while. This signing also makes the Tigers' bullpen a lot stronger. Now when the Tigers have a lead going into the ninth inning they will have a much better shot to win the game.
