Updated Tigers roster projection: Changes in rotation, bullpen, bench

LAKELAND, Fla. -- The first 10 days of spring training haven’t offered much clarity on the Detroit Tigers’ roster battles.

In fact, things are probably more muddled than they were on Feb. 19 when camp officially opened with a full-squad workout.

Nonetheless, we’re diving into an updated installment of our 25-man roster projection. There a handful of changes of version 2.0.

There’s more clarity on the batting order, less clarity on the bench and still countless possibilities in the bullpen.

I dropped down to a three-man bench and added an extra man in the bullpen, but I’m not wedded to that idea if there’s a compelling reason to add another player (like JaCoby Jones).
