Even if Valverde doesn't reclaim the job, Phil Coke is about the 4th or 5th best pitcher in the Tigers' pen.</FONT><br>

Valverde will do some throwing at the Tigers' spring training complex before joining Triple-A Toledo. If he pitches well for the Mud Hens, he could climb back onto Detroit's roster. Which makes him a worthwhile stash in deeper fantasy leagues. The 35-year-old right-hander has a May 5 opt-out clause.)</SPAN></EM> </SPAN></div>
