*ITEM*

DETROIT -- The Tigers' closer of the future didn't need long to become the
relief help of the present. Bruce Rondon, whose triple-digit fastball made
him a candidate to head up the bullpen out of Spring Training, earned his
first call to the big leagues on Tuesday to replace the injured Octavio
Dotel.

The Tigers placed Dotel on the 15-day disabled list with right elbow
inflammation. They recalled Rondon from Triple-A Toledo, where his
season-opening stint as the Mud Hens' closer featured dominant numbers from
the right-hander who skyrocketed through the Tigers' farm system last year.

*WINNER*

Klein 9. Team's faith and $8 investment in young flamethrower about to pay
huge dividends as K-9 *PREPARE TO LAUNCH OFFENSIVE*.

*LOSER*

Lake Michigan Calamari. Benoit's turn in closer spotlight was brief
and uninspired as team *MUST DUCK AND TAKE COVER.*
