Detroit — Being managed by a former catcher can be rather hellish for a catcher.
“It’s a blessing and a curse,” Tigers skipper and former big-league catcher AJ Hinch said last month. “The blessing is, we have a lot of expertise and a lot of feel for the position. The bad news is we have a lot of expertise and feel for the position.”
Blessing and a curse? Jake Rogers says bring it on.
“It’s going to be great, him being a catcher,” said Rogers, the Tigers top catching prospect who will be competing with recently-signed veteran Wilson Ramos and Grayson Greiner this spring.
