Detroit Tigers' Luke Putkonen is just happy to pitch in

Posted Jun 3, 2013
For the record, Luke Putkonen doesn't really care. As long as he's pitching in the big leagues and helping the Tigers win, he's not sweating whether he's starting games or coming in from the bullpen. "I feel like I can be used however they want," Putkonen said. "I spent most of my minor league career as a starter but I am enjoying being a reliever." (Detroit News)
