Spring-training is just around the corner folks. Pitchers and catchers report in just four days.

Here's an article (http://detroit.tigers.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article.jsp?ymd=20060208&content_id=1308515&vkey=news_det&fext=.jsp&c_id=det)on where the Tigers outfield stands at this point.

Interestingly, it comments that Logan just may be faster than he was last year. Now if he can only learn how to hit, that would really be something.

I, like many other detroiters, have lost interest in the Tigers lately. I'm still hopeful that they can turn the organization around soon and still try to make it to at least a couple of games a year (especially when i only spend $10 or $15 on a bleacher bum ticket). I saw this article on espn.com and maybe if we don't trade this dude away for nothing we can have a nice solid rotation for the future.
RHP Justin Verlander, Tigers (23): The Tigers, desperate to show their alienated fan base that they have a future, will be sorely tempted to rush Verlander to Detroit if he has a good spring or a fast start in Triple-A. But the young right-hander with the express fastball (mid- to high-90s) and two other plus pitches (hard curve and straight change) might not be ready for prime time for a few months or even a full year. After all, he has a mere 22 pro starts under his belt, only nine above Class A.
