Alex Wilson thinks he can make the transition to the starting rotation But, by most accounts, the starting rotation is currently Michael Fulmer, Jordan Zimmermann, Mike Fiers, Daniel Norris and Matt Boyd. The Tigers also have minor league pitchers Buck Farmer and Ryan Carpenter sitting in Toledo for good measure.
Despite this, Alex Wilson still approached the club in the offseason and asked for the opportunity to compete for a place in the starting rotation.
Wilson, who is 31, was drafted by the Red Sox in the second round of the 2009 MLB draft.
