Dombrowski conference call scheduled for noon.

Joel Hanrahan expected to be the set up guy and hopefully help fix the bullpen issues a bit in Detroit.

Is he as good as Phil Coke?

He hasn't really been all that good since 2011. But it can't get much worse in the pen than it is now. Definitely low risk/high reward in this signing.

Hopefully Phil Coke will be released.

@JonHeymanCBS: strong #tigers may have just solved a weakness by signing star reliever joel hanrahan.

Coming back from Surgery.


Career 3.85 era, had 76 saves in 2011 & 2012 with Pittsburgh. 2013 only pitched 9 games because of injury.

Could be a pretty good pick-up. Boston got him out of Pittsburgh and he started off pretty good last season until he got hurt. Uehara (sp?) came out of no where for the Red Sox and Hanrahan basically lost his job.
