The Detroit Tigers get ready for their exhibition game against the New York Yankees with some batting practice and grounders on Wednesday, Feb. 28, 2018, in Tampa, Fla.
With Opening Day approaching fast, Free Press sports writer Anthony Fenech breaks down the Detroit Tigers' roster with the help of a pro scout:
Rotation
LHP Matthew Boyd
Age: 27
Vitals: 6-3, 215 pounds
Contract: Under team control through 2021
Key stats: 6-11, 5.27 ERA
Scout’s take: He competes his ass off with very fringy stuff and has learned to survive with what he’s got, if that makes any sense.
