LAKELAND, Fla. -- There were many questions about the Tigers' lineup heading into camp, from Miguel Cabrera and Victor Martinez's health issues to who would bat leadoff and second. As the team prepares to head to Detroit for Opening Day on Thursday, the answers are pretty straightforward.
The lineup and batting order are very well set, without platoons or matchups. The roster, barring a waiver pickup or last-minute addition, is ready. The bullpen roles, from closer Shane Greene to setup men Alex Wilson, Daniel Stumpf and Joe Jimenez, are all but slotted.
