The problem is that we will have too many men on the roster.

With the addition of Willis and Porcelo, we need to get rid of 2 players. Trading Grilli for minor leaguers solves 1 spot. Now we need to open up another spot relatively quickly. Sending Robertson to the bullpen doesn't help.

This is why the Tigers are considering sending Galarraga to the minors until we can work out a real solution (like trading another player for minor leaguers). Galarraga still has minor league options, like Clete Thomas did.

If there were no rules, I would think that both of those guys would be on the roster for good at this point, given their performances.
