Pena struggled this spring, batting.160 with one home run in 50 at-bats, and it was clear that new Tigers manager Jim Leyland intended to use Chris Shelton at first base, leading to Pena's release.

 Bleed Cubbie Blue :: Carlos Pena
Pena was once the Rangers' top 1B prospect -- he fell from grace and was shipped to Oakland (in a deal that netted the Rangers their current starting C, Gerald Laird).
Pena speculation is less stupid, but it's silly to assume that Pena will just be available because 1) the Yankees may not release him and 2) other teams may be interested in him and he would likely be more interested in signing with a team he might have a future with.
Pena has a clause in his contract that will allow him to leave the organization if he's not brought up to the majors by Tuesday, but the Yankees do not see that as a firm deadline and won't be pressured to make a decision.

The Tigers would trade Pena for some pitching, which could translate into either Carl Pavano or a package featuring Aaron Small… If a Pavano-for-Pena trade were to transpire, it would not happen until spring training and only until Pavano shows himself to be completely healthy.
Pena would enhance the 1B position nicely from a defensive standpoint and would form a nice little tandem with Phillips.

In summary, it looks like Pena is not a butcher with the glove - but he's not the next coming of Don Mattingly either.
All this tells me that the jury is still out on whether or not Carlos Pena is a "slick fielder." We'll have to wait and see for ourselves in New York.
