Tigers' roster features mix of new faces, vets

DETROIT -- The Tigers' Opening Day roster won't be officially set until sometime Thursday morning, bumping up against Major League Baseball's deadline. But that's just leaving open the possibility of a last-second player move, such as a waiver claim or a trade. Barring that, the Tigers have their 25-man roster.

It includes five players making an Opening Day roster for the first time and three players who have never played for the Tigers before. One player -- Rule 5 outfielder Victor Reyes -- has never played in the Majors before. Another player, Miguel Cabrera, will be making his 11th Opening Day in a Tigers uniform.
