With the weather beginning to feel like summer, it's only fitting we showcase the Detroit Tigers as the much anticipated 2012 season approaches. Here's a glimpse of the action in Lakeland, Fla. through the lens of Bloomfield Township resident, Patch blogger, and Tiger die-hard Jenny Greenwell.

Will the timing and nature of Miguel Cabrera's injury hinder his development at the hot corner? Has Ryan Rayburn's spring bat earned him sole possession of second base? And now with a Prince in the fold, will they meet expectations?
