Tiger Notes

The Detroit Tigers have invited 19 players to spring training camp. Most of these guys, if not all of them, will not make the team. The list includes Dean Palmer, Craig Dingman, Sean Douglass, John Ennis, Andrew Good, Matt Roney, Mike Bynum, Brandon Harper, Mike Rabelo, Maxim St. Pierre, Tony Giarrantano, Jack Hannahan, Mike Hessman, Michael Rivera, Alexis Gomez, Kevin Hooper, Nelson Cruz, Sandy Martinez, and Doug Creek. Players in bold means they have played on the Tigers before.

Former Tiger Eric Munson will compete for the starting third base job with the Minnesota Twins. The Tigers did not resign Munson, and Minnesota picked him up. Munson hit .212 with 19 homers and 49 RBIs last season with Detroit. The Tigers will see a lot of Munson because the Twins are in the same division as the Tigers.
