Tigers optioned outfielder Andy Dirks to Triple-A Toledo. It was pretty much a given that this was coming after the Delmon Young acquisition. Dirks looks like a pretty useful player, and with a .257/.301/.411 line, six homers and 21 RBI in 175 at-bats, he wasn't doing a bad job as a rookie. Still, there just isn't any playing time available for him at the moment.
