I was able to catch some extended Spring Training games this weekend and get a look at some of the newest additions to the club. The first game was the “opener” in Lakeland at the Tigers newly renovated backfields. Abrahan Gutierrez was behind the plate and looked solid back there, blocking a few breaking pitches in the dirt. He didn’t throw out the one baserunner I saw try to steal on him but it was a close play. Kevin Maitan was at short and seemed to have added even more muscle from the last time I saw him in September.
