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.
