Detroit Tigers: Spring Training Should Offer Plenty of Competition for Bench Places

Detroit Tigers fans will see an extremely different bench unit next seasons.

Last season, a bench largely consisting of Andrew Romine, Casey McGehee, Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Erick Aybar and Tyler Collins nearly helped propel the team to the playoffs.

With Spring Training just around the corner, Brad Ausmus will have a changed group of reserved players next season.

Romine will once again play a key role off the bench, while Saltalamacchia has been replaced by Alex Avila as James McCann’s top reserve.
