We nitpick a lot with the end of the Pistons' roster, so here is goes with the Tigers!

According to manager Jim Leyland, you're a major league outfielder already. The only challenge for you, he said, is "getting the bat to meet the ball more often."

OK, so his defense is MLB quality, but Leylands says he needs to improve his hitting. So he shows up at spring training and hits .419.
Today they decided to send him back to the minors.
What did he need to do to make the team? Did they just bring him up to give him a taste and it wasn't really a tryout?
Last year he only got 10 at bats in the big leagues and got 1 hit. In 2006, he got a lot of at bats and hit .282 with 3HR with a slg of .641.
Seems to me like he should be playing for some team at this point.
