Pitchers and catchers are due to report a week from today on February 14. The first full squad workout is February 19. So we’re getting close to major league activity, if not yet actual games. Truck day will be here before we know it, and by the last week of February we’ll be into the Grapefruit League schedule.
The Tigers dropped their full spring training roster on Wednesday, and the more I look at the group of prospects scheduled to be in major league camp, the more excited we are to see things get underway. 18 total non-roster players have been invited to Major League Spring Training, and most of them are legit prospects rather than older minor leaguers signed or claimed this offseason.
