The news of Nate Robertson’s trade means the Tigers have officially settled on Jeremy Bonderman and Dontrelle Willis to hold down the bottom half of the rotation.
The 2010 season marks the first year Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland will not have the reliable hands of Placido Polanco manning second base. With Polanco gone, rookie Scott Sizemore is the likely candidate to be the Tigers opening day starter.
