Tony Giarratano released
posted in 2007-08 offseason |One time shortstop of the future Tony Giarratano saw his Detroit Tigers career — possibly baseball career — come to an end today when he was released from the organization.
”Unfortunately, Tony has not be able to recover from his previous surgery and it does not appear feasible for him to continue his career at this time,” Tigers president Dave Dombrowski said.
After being drafted in 2003, he managed a cup of coffee in the majors in 2005. Unfortunately, his shoulder just wouldn’t hold up, and he has not played baseball since mid-2006.
Matt at Take 75 North shares his take on how this affects the farm. My take is, not too much given his injury situation has been a given for two years now, it didn’t sneak up on Dombrowski. The Tigers were weak there and Giarratano just wasn’t panning out anyway, unfortunately.
