LAKELAND, Fla. -- Jim Leyland gave his gut feeling soon after Spring Training began, that the Tigers would emerge from Spring Training with either too much pitching or too little. Detroit's manager is still evaluating the pitching and his pitchers. But even if he isn't making any declarations ...

Dontrelle Willis had a stomach bug Sunday. It was uncertain whether he’d even be able to pitch. Given the importance of Willis going out and performing his best every time he takes the mound this spring, I wish he had given it a day. But he didn’t.

Otherwise, the beat writers’ impressions of him seemed decent enough. John Lowe wrote it could have been a ...
Three shutout innings for Porcello
Tiger Tales: A Detroit Tigers Blog —
Rick Porcello did not dominate the Marlins tonight. He gave up five hits and struck out only one in three innings. One thing he did didn't do though was walk a better which is kind of a big deal for the Tigers this spring. Former pitching coach Chuck Hernandez lost his job, in part, because Tigers pitchers could not get the ball over the plate last year. Rick Knapp came over from a Twins system which has consistently produced strike throwers. It's pretty clear that the Tigers want to see improvement in that area and it hasn't been happening early in the spring. Jim Leyland ...
