Jack Flaherty looks dialed in and other news from the Tigersphere

No major news is good news at this time of year. The Tigers are in really good shape heading into the final games of the Grapefruit League calendar. Knock on all the wood, throw all the salt, do whatever your belief system permits to help the club stay healthy. Instead of injuries or roster moves, the talk on Tuesday night revolved around the ongoing velocity and stuff boosts for so many of the Tigers pitchers this spring.

Jack Flaherty, sitting 94-95 mph and topping 97 mph occasionally, has been a prime example in camp. The former Cardinals and Orioles starter had those fanbases wondering what is going on in Detroit to have his velocity up over a mile per hour up over his last few seasons.
