Detroit — The hiring of University of Michigan's Chris Fetter as the new pitching coach on AJ Hinch's staff was being touted across the baseball world Friday as a progressive move by the Tigers.
And that caused Fetter to wince just a bit.

Still, he'd rather not be so rigidly defined.
"I think it's a problem in today's game that everyone puts those two things (old school and new school) in separate buckets," Fetter said.
