Tigers closer Bruce Rondon was sent home for the season due to his ‘effort level.’ No further explanation was provided by Brad Ausmus. Alex Avila, however, did make a few comments. “To be a big component of the team, you've got to be here, on the team” he said. “You want to put out your best effort everyday. No matter the situation.” Rondon showed promise as a rookie. Maybe this ability will lead to another team taking a shot on him.
