Toronto Blue Jays vs Detroit Tigers Spring Training 3-12-11

Detroit is running out the more interesting and potent lineup today starting with Austin Jackson all the way through Miguel Cabrera in the clean up slot.  The first four batters are going to be their every day lineup come April and with Brad Penny working on re-establishing himself as a premiere starter this should be a fun game to watch if you are a Tiger fan.

Philadelphia Phillies vs Pittsburgh Pirates Spring Training 3-12-11

The Pirates are letting the pitcher bat today while the Phils use the DH and trot out what amounts to a minor league lineup (other than Ryan Howard) in this split squad game.

Tampa Bay Rays vs Philadelphia Phillies Spring Training 3-12-11

Two contenders feel each other out today as both Tampa and Philly send most of their starting lineups onto the field.  If only we saw Cliff Lee or one of the big four for the Phils today because Tampa is trotting out David Price and we could have had one of the great pitching match ups of the Spring.
