Austin Slater released (at his request) from his minor league contract with Detroit.  He is now a free agent.

He was struggling a bit. 10 strikeouts in 30 ABs, but five walks. Line of .267/.389/.467/.856. Great OBP, very good OPS.

Late Night LaMonte Wade was also released by the White Sox.

White Sox also released Ryan Borucki, left handed reliever, 0.00 ERA, six games (one start), six innings pitched, only allowed three runs, struck out EIGHT, WHIP of 0.67. Borucki was on a minor league deal/spring invite, white sox told him he wouldn't make opening day roster. White Sox are average this spring, ranked 15th among teams in ERA, but 19th in WHIP. last year, they were 26th in WHIP. Borucki looks a little bit like Bumgarner, lefty who throws from a low three-quarters arm slot. Sliders, sinkers and splitters. I suspect Giants will elevate Erik Miller into Tyler Rogers' old role, and Borucki and Matt Gage become the situational lefties.

Speaking of, Tyler Rogers has a 3.86 ERA in seven innings. 7 strikeouts, no walks, 1.14 WHIP, .286 BAA.
