LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) — In terms of star power, the Detroit Tigers can match any team in baseball.

That doesn’t mean their lineup is totally settled heading into spring training.

The Tigers won the AL Central last season by 15 games and added slugger Prince Fielder in the offseason. With Fielder and Miguel Cabrera in the middle of the batting order, Detroit can expect to score its share of runs, but the team still faces some uncertainty. It’s not clear who the No. 5 starter will be, and manager Jim Leyland will have an interesting task each game when he decides how to align his defense.

Pitchers and catchers report Sunday for the Tigers, and the first workout is Monday.
