Casey Mize, one of the Detroit Tigers' top prospects, is running out of patience.

“He's itchin' to go,” Jason Mize, Casey's father, said. “He's ready to go and be out with his friends and ready to play ball. He’s like any 23-year-old would be. He’s ready to get back on a baseball field and get back to work.”

Amen to that.

I don’t think you can find a Tigers fan, much less any sports fan, who wouldn’t agree with him.
