Spring Game Thread: Braves at Tigers

Javier Vazquez vs. Jeremy Bonderman, 1:05 p.m. EST

If today's match-up has a familiar ring to it, Javier Vazquez and Jeremy Bonderman faced each other on television 10 days ago. Here we go again.

Bondo's appearance comes after Jim Leyland announced yesterday that he was "highly unlikely" to make his first turn in the rotation, which probably would've been in Detroit's fourth or fifth game of the season. With Opening Day just over a week away, he has a lot of stamina to build. Depending on how Bonderman performs today, a trip to the disabled list to begin the year could be a possibility.

For your viewing purposes, Bondo should be done with his work for the day before many of you switch over to CBS for the Michigan State-Louisville game at 2 p.m. EST. (And judging by how many Spartans we have in the BYB Brigade, along with how many picked MSU in the BYB Bracket Blowout, I imagine that will draw some interest. If it's anywhere near as good as last night's Villanova-Pittsburgh game was, hoo boy.)

Dude, how could you not include Ty Cobb on your All-Time Tigers team?

Hee hee.

I'm guessing...

that just his lifetime all-time team? A lot of guys missing (e.g., KALINE)

it was MY ALL TIME TIGERS TEAM

not THE all time tiger team..

I don’t know if I could prefaced it any better than I did… I guess some Tigers’ fans have reading comprehension issues

nope

just didn’t read it. checked in on it when I saw Ian’s comments. Sorry. I figured that’s what it was when I saw the players

I didn't mean you personally

I don’t appreciate being called an idiot when I never saw Kaline play, only highlights

to put Darrell Evans in over Cabrera too when Evans couldn’t hit over .240 is a bit foolish

apology

I owe you one. a) for not reading it all b) I didn’t see all the comments of people calling you out for not having Kaline etc. haha my bad dude. I like the idea of the post for sure. You’re not pretending to know everything and giving a list of players you never saw. I like that. Sorry
