Justin Verlander is a 'ninja riding a cheetah'
When Justin Verlander isn't pitching (throwing no-hitters and winning the Cy Young and MVP awards), he's either golfing, riding in racecars, appearing on Conan, eating Taco Bell, perfectly predicting the outcome of the Super Bowl, tweeting, orrrr - deep breath - promoting MLB 2k12, the video game of which he'll be gracing the cover. Yeah, he's pretty awesome, as he...

Florida talk fills crater with hope
DETROIT -- When you goin down?
It's a mundane, gap-filling question in most circumstances -- somewhere between looking at your watch or scrolling the cell phone for messages -- but it has a ring of anticipation when spoken during one of the dark holes in the sports calendar.

Detroit -- When a team goes out and signs one of the top free agents on the market in slugger Prince Fielder, it's no wonder that's all anyone wants to talk about.

Justin Verlander: 2k12 ninja
Tigers ace Justin Verlander was the posterboy for the 2011 season after taking home the American League Most Valuable Player and Cy Young awards. Those accolades landed him on the cover of the MLB 2k12 video game cover.

Around the ballpark: A look at the 2012 Detroit Tigers
Bring on 2012!
The 2012 Detroit Tigers have high expectations this year. With the addition of Prince Fielder, and Justin Verlander coming off one of the best seasons by a pitcher in nearly 10 years, a lot is to be expected. Sure, having a few great players like a Miguel Cabrera or a Jose Valverde will help you win, but baseball is a team game. How do the 25 players stack up as a...

Alex Avila's All-Star encore hinges on consistency
DETROIT -- Detroit Tigers catcher Alex Avila loves the word consistency.
The question for Avila, who turned 25 this past week, is whether he'll be able to consistently be the player he was last season.
Manager Jim Leyland announced before last season that Avila would be the everyday starting catcher and Avila did not disappoint. He hit .295 with 19 home runs and 82 RBIs, earning...
