Lakeland, Fla. — Tyler Alexander is one of several Tigers pitchers in camp caught between the prospects and a hard spot, but you won’t hear the amiable Texan complain about it.
“It’s not frustrating at all,” he said after throwing a bullpen Saturday morning. “I’m willing to do whatever they want me to do. Start, whatever. Long relief, whatever. One inning relief, I don’t care. I will do whatever I can to be up there.”
Theoretically, the left-handed throwing Alexander is competing for a rotation spot this spring.
