With the Detroit Tigers pitching staff getting roughed up this season on a regular basis, we as fans must look to the minors for the future arms of the franchise.
In West Michigan, LHP Jon Kibler was named the Midwest League Pitcher of the Week for May 12-18. The southpaw from Freeland, MD went 2-0 with a 0.56 ERA in 16.0 innings last week and is 4-1 with a 2.06 ERA and 40 strikeouts to nine walks this season. The Tigers selected Kibler in the 30th round of the 2007 draft. This is the third consecutive week that a Whitecaps pitcher has won the MWL award. RHP Alfredo Figaro won the award on May 5 and LHP Ramon Garcia won the award on May 12.
