Lakeland, Florida – Six weeks of Tigers spring camp wraps up Tuesday with a game at Tropicana Field against the Rays.
And then it’s on to Detroit. And to a baseball season fans are viewing, not incorrectly, as more of a chore than an adventure.
Notes from a rebuilding club’s traits and habits during a spring tune-up that went astonishingly quickly:
Miguel Cabrera: His back issues have eased, as doctors last year said they would. Cabrera is swinging the bat breezily. He feels good. He has been uncommonly warm and good-humored in the Tigers clubhouse.
