I think the spring has gone almost exactly as expected. Alex Gordon has shined and will win a job, Mark Teahen has made it easier by playing a decent outfield, a few injuries have hit but nothing killer. The pitching has gone about as well as expected, but you can’t be too comfortable entering the season … especially when facing rotations like the one in Detroit.
