Tigers right-hander Jose Valverde has been dreadful this postseason, yielding seven earned runs in just 2 1/3 innings. But he wants to participate in the World Series and thinks he is ready to be more effective.
According to beat writer Jason Beck of MLB.com, Valverde made around 20 throws in a simulated game against Tigers minor leaguers on Saturday afternoon at a crowdless Comerica Park and noticed significant improvement with his delivery.
?A lot,? said Valverde. ?I open too much. I do too much stuff with my hands. That?s what I?ve been working on the last couple days with [pitching coach Jeff Jones], and now it?s over.?
Phil Coke served as the Tigers? closer-by-default last round against the Yankees and will probably remain in that role for the Fall Classic. But a refreshed Valverde would be nice for the Detroit ?pen.
