2012
Villarreal was a surprise addition to the Tigers’ Opening Day roster in 2011. The 24-year-old stuck around for the first couple months of the season, but he was sent to Triple-A Toledo after posting a 6.75 ERA and 14:10 K:BB ratio in 16 relief appearances with the Tigers. He was switched back to a starter following his demotion, finishing his Triple-A campaign with a 3-5 record, 5.05 ERA and 40:29 K:BB ratio in 66 innings. Villarreal has a fastball that hovers in the 90-94 range and an above-average slider, but he doesn’t have a strong enough third pitch to be considered a strong rotation option. He profiles as a decent middle-relief option but will need to refine his control before getting another chance with Detroit.
