Tigers release left-handed reliever Byrdak

 

LAKELAND, Fla. -- Reliever Tim Byrdak was released Wednesday by the Detroit Tigers after the left-hander allowed 15 runs and 21 hits in 10 innings during spring training,

Byrdak pitched to five batters in the ninth inning of Detroit's 10-9 win over Houston on Tuesday, walking four and allowing one hit. His spring ERA was 13.50.

Byrdak started the 2007 season with Triple A Toledo before joining the Tigers bullpen on May 14.

He gets $175,205 in termination pay rather than his $712,500 salary.

I'm not going to say that releasing Byrdak was a bad move - his numbers pretty clearly indicate he wasn't pulling his own weight - but the Tigers bullpen was already in bad shape. Could this mean that a move is imminent, or are they just going to assume that whatever scrub they can find in the minors must be at least as good?
