Just a quick rundown on the news:

Chan Ho Park has beat out J.A. Happ for the fifth spot in the team's rotation.


Ruben Amaro Jr., on Park winning the job:

"Frankly I think our entire staff thought parked pitched better, frankly. We’re a better club with him in the rotation at this time...
"He came in prepared to pitch and win that job and he deserved to be our fifth starter."


Amaro on Jenkins:

"He was a great person to have in the clubhouse – this was a tough one. He had some big hits for us at times – maybe one of the biggest hits – and was certainly a very important piece into our championship club. That said, we just felt like we were a better club making this decision to go in a different direction.”


Jenkins on being released:

"I think coming into spring training I felt like, not that there was writing on the wall, but I definitely saw that it could be an issue with all the left-handed hitters. I think in my mind, I love to be around these guys so much, I was just hoping things would work out."


Amaro on Gary Sheffield, who was released today by the Tigers:

“We have talked to his representative and we have talked to Gary – we’ll see how that plays out. We do not have a gage (if he’d accept a backup role). We had a private conversation and we’ll keep it private.”
