Tigers Round Up

TIGERS SPRING TRAINING: Pudge lite - Pudge slimmed himself down for this season. No, its not the lack of roids such as seen in Giambi. He's changed his off season workout a bit, and got himself into a little better shape. With him entering his mid-30s, this is probably a wise decision.
