Detroit — It would be easy for Phil Nevin to get caught up thinking about his future.
He's wanted to be a major-league manager for a long time, and finally got his shot earlier this year when the Los Angeles Angels fired Joe Maddon. But as the interim manager, Nevin doesn't have much job security beyond this season.
But Nevin insists he's staying in the present — at least, when he's not reminiscing about his past, in Detroit.
"It's a special place for me, certainly," Nevin said sitting in the visitors' dugout at Comerica Park, a little over an hour before the scheduled first pitch of Tigers-Angels, Game 2, on Saturday.
