Brent Dlugach doubled twice Saturday in the Tigers' 3-0 shutout of the Phillies.
While Adam Everett has gone 2-for-27 and Ramon Santiago 3-for-19, Dlugach, who made his major league debut last September, is 11-for-28 with two homers and four doubles this spring. The plan is for the 27-year-old to return to Triple-A this year, but the Tigers have little invested in Everett and could always choose to release him at some point. Dlugach wouldn't be a long-term option at short, but he's a solid defender with a little pop in his bat.
