Spring Training so far has been disappointing, I'll freely admit. I don't like the fact that we're losing so much, but there are still lots of positives.
- Nick Castellanos. I've been a fan of him from the beginning. However, he has steadily improved each year that he's played. This spring, he has shown some marked improvements in hitting, baserunning, and defense. He's a big part of our team.
- Pitching. Our starting pitching has been really good. Verlander, Boyd, Norris, Fulmer, and Zimmermann. Sure, there has been some rough patches, but it is Spring Training after all. The bullpen has had a few bright spots too. You may moan and complain that it's a big part of the reason we've lost so many games, but, there are a lot of guys pitching who aren't going to be on the team.
Most of all, keep in mind that it's Spring Training. We haven't even played all that many games. Is it disconcerting? Yes. Disappoint? Absolutely. But not predictive.
Team USA
We're on to the second round!!!! Team USA has played some good games so far in the World Baseball Classic. We have a lot of amazing players and our pitching - while not the best of America - is nothing to sneeze at. We have the talent to win, but so do some of the other teams. We'll have to wait and see. If USA gets out, then I want Venezuela to win. They have the most Tiger players :)
