AJ Hinch said Troy Melton is dealing with some arm soreness, which is why he hasn't gotten a start yet. They are giving him some time for the soreness to subside.
Great article from Cody on McGonigle.

I root very hard for John Peck to make it.
I've enjoyed teasing one of northern Michigan's biggest auctioneers about his "son" playing ball.

Announcers fussing that Tigers should be nervous about turning SS over to a 21 year old McGonigle...apparently they're too young to recall a 19-20yr old Alan Trammell. 18 year old Robin Yount. Etc - I would think with the advanced training that kids would be MORE ready today.
I firmly believe McGonigle will make this team out of spring training. Using your projection either in place of Lee or one of Meadows/Perez/Vierling suffers an injury and they decide to use Javy in the OF again.
