Games. Infielder Scott Sizemore And First Baseman Jeff Larish Have Been Sent
To The Triple-A Mud Hens To Make Room On The Roster For Peralta And Frazier.

Best. Both Players Remain Unsigned, And Without Contracts Cannot Participate In
Camp, Which Officially Begins At 3 P.M. Saturday. Lions Coach Jim Schwartz
Said Today The Team Is Closer To Signing Best Than Suh, But He's Still
Optimistic Both Can Be Signed Soon.
