Tigers Add Huff to Lineup

While trying to fend off the Chicago White Sox coming down the stretch in a tight AL Central divison race, the Tigers acquired left-handed hitter Aubrey Huff from Baltimore. GM Dave Dombrowski had to do this, to help fill a void in the Tigers lineup which has been terrible at hitting with runners in scoring position and at just hitting period at times.

Huff, 32, is only hitting .253 but has 72 RBIs, more than any Tiger. Most impressive, he's hitting .324 with runners in scoring position. After the Tigers went 0-for-16 with runners in scoring position and lost to Kansas City on Sunday.

Dombrowski was quoted as saying "It's been a tough offensive year for our ballclub, and (Huff) can drive in runs. He's a guy we've tried to acquire numerous times in the past. He's a left-handed bat that's a threat, and those guys are hard to find."
