Finally, Spring Training has arrived. Amidst another six inches of snow around town, comes the first of many updates from Florida on the health of Magglio Ordonez. Gene Guidi of The Detroit Free Press gives us this upbeat view of Maggs' first day in Lakeland.
Not to be outdone, The Detroit News has it's Tigers Extra section in their sports section today. Stories included are on Kyle Farnsworth, Franklyn German and how the Tigers want to be like the Twins. Which makes me wonder if they want a cheap owner who doesn't care about his team or its history?
Honestly, I'm tired of the Tigers trying to be like another organization. We spent about eight years listening to how the Tigers were going to model themselves after the Indians. That didn't work out so well. I appreciate the desire to have a competitive ballclub and the Twins are a fine organization, but can't the Tigers just be themselves? (Yeah, I know. That hasn't worked out so well, either.)
The News also has a photo gallery. (You'll need to click over there to find the link.) There's little better than the sights of spring when surrounded by winter. This weather won't last forever.
