Seemingly everyone wants to be a Detroit Tigers starting pitcher this spring. Alex Wilson said last Thursday that he wants to start, according to The Detroit News. The 31-year old right-hander faces younger and more experienced starters than him.
So far, only the top three spots are locks. Michael Fulmer, Jordan Zimmerman and Mike Fiers will most certainly be in the rotation when manager Ron Gardenhire releases his depth chart. Aside from them, two spots are open.
Wilson hopes to get one spot. He’ll be competing against front runners Matthew Boyd and Daniel Norris; as well as challengers Ryan Carpenter and Travis Wood.
