Tigers have difficult decisions ahead as they sort out pecking order for pitchers

Fort Myers, Fla. – On one level, the Tigers’ starting rotation is pretty much in place.

Barring injury or sudden collapse, Matthew Boyd, Spencer Turnbull, Jordan Zimmermann, Ivan Nova and Daniel Norris are going north to start the season.

A much stickier issue for general manager Al Avila and his staff will be trying to sort out the rotation at Triple-A Toledo and on down the chain.

Two pitchers in that conversation pitched here at CenturyLink Sportspark Tuesday in the Tigers' 5-1 Grapefruit League loss to the Twins.
