Kenny Rogers pitched two scoreless innings yesterday in a 3-1 loss to the Indians. What's more impressive about Rogers' outing is that he was able to get out of innings without using his curveball.
Brandon Inge caught his first game of the spring yesterday and says that it was "kind of a downer feeling." Inge obviously still wants to be traded to a team that will start him at third base. He's been on-fire at the plate so far this spring, but had a rough day yesterday, going hitless and striking out once. If you scroll down to the bottom and check out the reader comments, you'll see a lot of Detroit fans sick of Inge's complaints. I'm not with them on this one.
Curtis Granderson has a new blog post on ESPN.com about the quality of their new lineup and how it puts added pressure on him to get on base. Apparently, Grando is getting advice from Lou Whitaker. Nice.
Dontrell Willis also has a quick blog post about his first start with the Tigers. He just seems like a fun-loving guy who I think will be very, very popular in the D if he pitches well.
The D-Town Baseball blog has some keys for our starting pitching. The statistics shown on percentage of innings pitched by a AL teams starters was pretty interesting to me and I liked their point on how Willis will help them in this area.
Roar of the Tigers spent some time at Spring Training and has a post about a whole slate of Tiger related info. The Inge paragraphs are what to look for here.
Finally, more on Inge from Rob Neyer at ESPN.com. Sending Inge to the Dodgers seemed like Detroit's most reasonable option, but Neyer says that deal makes no sense for L.A. That's fine with me.
