		Percival was told he didn't need surgery and that he could give it one more try this year, but the Tigers aren't counting on him at all, instead bringing in Todd Jones to close.

		Troy Percival isn't in pain as he attempts his comeback from a muscle tear in his forearm, but his stuff has yet to come back.
		Because he's not a candidate to close with Todd Jones on the team, Troy Percival has suggested to the Tigers that he'd be open to competing for a rotation spot.
		Percival hopes to be ready for the start of next year, but the Tigers can't count on him and they'd rather leave Fernando Rodney in a setup role for now.

	Angels News (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Percival made $7.5 million last year and was believed to be looking for a similar amount in 2005, but the Angels would like to trim their payroll to around $90 million while searching for help in starting pitching, center field, possibly the middle infield, and now the bullpen.
		Percival wasn't available to reporters because he was on his boat, but he left a statement on the Angels' press release announcing the move.
		Percival was on the mound when the Angels clinched their playoff berth that year, when they beat the Yankees in the American League Division Series, when they put away the Minnesota Twins in the AL Championship Series, and when they outlasted the San Francisco Giants in the World Series in Anaheim.

	Percival is 1st pitcher into Fall League Hall (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Troy Percival, one of baseball's great closers, was settling into a spot on the bench in the home dugout before an Arizona Fall League game at Phoenix Municipal Stadium Tuesday night when he knocked over a pair of bats that clattered across the concrete floor with a deafening din.
		Percival left the Angels after the 2004 season to sign a two-year, $12 million contract with the Detroit Tigers and appeared in just 26 games this year before going down with arm problems.
		Percival played in the Fall League in 1992, the year the Angels made him a pitcher after drafting him as a catcher only to find out he couldn't hit because he couldn't see out of his right eye.

		Troy Percival is six feet, three inches tall and weighs, according to an often-politic listing, 235 pounds.
		Percival was standing on the mound, a two-run cushion supporting him, peering at the only Giants hitter who even approaches him in physical stature: Barry Bonds.
		Percival probably did notice, and probably cares quite a bit, that the Angels are bound for PacBell Park tonight with the series even at 1-1.

	Stupidity Award: Troy Percival - NetShrine Discussion Forum
		All he kept saying was that his goal was to get Aurilia and Kent out, so that he could groove one to bonds and "see how far he could hit it." after all, he said, he had a 2-run lead, so the HR wouldn't matter.
		Percival has no finesse about him whatsoever, his MO is "Here, try to hit this." It must be a shock when you're Troy Percival and Bonds just flicks the bat out and hits your best pitch 500 feet.
		He kinded smiled and shook his head as if to say "wow he is that good" Maybe this was Percival's way of saying that too.

		He is expected to be traded, or used as a setup pitcher for Percival.
		I read that Percival was impressed with the Tigers' organization, from the front office to the coaches, and believes that they are committed to winning and headed in the right direction.
		Maybe Percival is just tired and wants a team he won't have many save chances so won't pitch as much to save his arm.

	The Transaction Guy: Tigers Sign Percival (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Not that I think Troy is really good, but we don't know that other players look at these guys the same way that we do, from a performance-based standpoint.
		One of the other ways I see this is that, taking Lee Sinins' measure of RSAA and applying it as an average per inning for those with a minimum threshold of saves, Troy Percival ranks among the top terciles in the past 10 years, 5 years and even last year.
		He got a lot of help from the Angels' defense last year, but my point is that Percival may possibly keep up that level of production, make some gains in the K/9 area, and actually make him worth the signing on its own merits.
