Tigers put Palmer on disabled list His neck problem has resurfaced. I have a feeling that Dean Palmer has played his last professional baseball game. This injury has been lingering for 3 years now, without ever getting completely better. That combined with his struggles at the plate this year (he has more strike outs than total bases) probably means the end. In the meantime Kevin Witt was called up from Toledo (9 Homers). Witt becomes the 29th man to play for the Tig’s this year.
