I look at the Tigers, as they open their exhibition season, as being a glass half-full, glass half-empty proposition. Half-full because I think the Tigers pitching staff has the potential to be as good as any in the American League this season. Half-empty because their lineup is not pieced together with a lot of sense to begin with, and it's iffy how ready second baseman Scott Sizemore and third baseman Brandon Inge are going to be physically when the season starts.
I don't see options for the Tigers at third base or second base should Sizemore or Inge not be healthy. That's particularly true at third base.
Jim Leyland still has to fill out his starting pitching rotation, but there are numerous options there. I still see Phil Coke as the fourth starter and Armando Galarraga as the fifth starter.
