The Tigers’ left-handed starting pitcher was present Sunday afternoon at Joker Marchant Stadium, working out on the back fields as the team’s pitchers continue to trickle in ahead of Thursday’s pitchers and catchers reporting date. “Really exciting times,” Norris said. “As soon as I hit the road, I started getting excited about the upcoming season.” He is clear of the thyroid cancer he was diagnosed with last season after a successful surgery to remove a malignant growth, and he has been in Lakeland since the end of January. Parked next to the team’s minor league clubhouse was his road companion, a cream-colored 1978 Volkswagen van. Inside was an orange surfboard. Outside, he talked about the differences and similarities between entering camp this spring and last. “I feel more confident,” he said. “Very confident with the work I put in this winter.” Last season, Norris was in Dunedin with the Blue Jays. He didn’t have a spot penciled into the starting rotation and had yet to go through the up-and-down grind of a big-league season. This season, the lefty is all but guaranteed a spot at the back end of the Tigers’ rotation, and he thinks some of the confidence he will carry into camp stems from his comfort level with the organization. But his love for the game remains the same, and it’s evident in the way he has tackled his early spring throwing program. Early this week, Norris will throw his fourth bullpen session. “Playing catch for the first time down here in the nice weather, first bullpen session, it’s great,” he said. Norris, 22, posted a 3.75 ERA in 13 starts with the Tigers and Blue Jays last season. He was acquired at the trade deadline as the centerpiece of a deal for lefty ace David Price. A striking difference between Norris last year and now is his facial stubble. Gone is the lengthy lumberjack beard he sported throughout last season. He shaved last week, which caused a number of his teammates to do a double-take. “Now you can see how ugly your face is,” Justin Verlander joked earlier in the month. It feels a bit different, not bearded, Norris said. “But it’s nice to feel the wind.” 2 Seidel: Tigers 3B Castellanos comes back more mature February 15, 2016 By Jeff Seidel/ Detroit Free Press Spring arrives this week. The click-clack, click-clack of metal cleats striking the sidewalk as the Tigers migrate toward the back fields in Tiger Town. Fans lining up behind the fence, snowbirds on vacation and retirees sporting the Old English D, begging for autographs. Feeling the warm sunshine and watching bullpens and hearing the sounds coming from the batting cages and sensing the return of optimism — always, the optimism, even after last year’s disaster. A new baseball season is oh, so close. The Tigers’ pitchers and catchers will report to Lakeland, Fla., this week with their first official practice Friday. As always, health will be one of the biggest variables for the Tigers. Miguel Cabrera, Victor Martinez, Anibal Sanchez, Justin Verlander and Jose Iglesias have to stay healthy and in the lineup for the Tigers to have any chance. There is uncertainty surrounding the starting lineup, but the bullpen appears significantly improved — at least on paper. And several young players have the potential to make this a fascinating season. Daniel Norris seems poised to break out, and James McCann will be the leader from behind the dish for the first time from the start. Then there is Nick Castellanos. Will he be the guy who struggled at the start of last season or the one who turned it around in the second half? After that experience, Castellanos seems like a different player, a wiser person, and there is no doubt in his mind about himself or this team. “If you look at our entire team, if we are able to play the way that we are supposed to play, there is no reason we can’t go far, deep into the postseason,” he said. There it is. All the confidence and optimism rolled into one determined quote. From a guy who took an interesting journey to get to this spot. More mature, but still young When he was 20, Castellanos thought he had it all figured out. It was 2012, and Castellanos was raking the ball for the Lakeland Flying Tigers. He was hitting .400 in the Florida State League on his way to becoming the 15th-ranked prospect in baseball by Baseball America. Everything was coming so easy to this $3.4-million bonus baby, and he figured it was time to move up the Tigers’ minor league system. “I remember him calling me up and saying, ‘Hey, I’m ready to move,’ ” general manager Al Avila said. OK, so Castellanos never had a problem with confidence. “To his credit, he was hitting .400 at the time,” Avila said. “And he carried that average for a good month, if not longer. When you are doing that, you are thinking, ‘I need to move up.’ But he was a year out of high school, for crying out loud.” Castellanos did move up, riding a rocket ship through the minor league system. A year later, he was playing for the Tigers. “Looking back at that kid,” Castellanos said of his days in the minor leagues, “that kid was good, and he thought he had it figured out, but he didn’t know what was waiting for him behind the door.” Behind the door? That’s a complicated story, from his rapid ascent through the minor leagues to the Tigers’ failed attempt to convert him into an outfielder to his defensive struggles at third base to his slump at the start of last season. He always has had tremendous potential at the plate — he falls out of bed in the morning hitting the ball to right- center — but the defense hasn’t come so easy. But here’s the thing to remember: Even though he has played in 313 major league games, Castellanos is still ridiculously young. He won’t turn 24 until March 4. And he’s a different person now than that “kid” who walked into Comerica Park. 3 “I’m definitely more mature than when I walked through those doors, just in life,” Castellanos said. “I’ve experienced so much more. I own my own house now. I have a family. I’m a dad. I’m married. All that stuff changes you.” His son, Liam, is 2 1/2. And when you are raising a child, when you have to think about somebody before yourself, that changes you profoundly. “When my son is messing up, I’m a big talker,” Castellanos said. “Before I would yell, and now I will set him aside in a quiet environment and try to explain to him that what he’s doing is not OK. And for the most part he responds really well, when I take the time to sit with him and talk to him at his level.” That’s a dad talking, not a brash young kid right out of high school. “He has grown up right before my eyes,” said catcher Bryan Holaday, who was in the same draft class with Castellanos, along with former Tigers left-hander Drew Smyly. “He’s getting his life together.” Castellanos smiled. “I remember (Holaday) when he was straight out of TCU, and he remembers me straight out of high school,” Castellanos said. “Things change. We were drafted in 2010, and now it’s 2016. That’s ridiculous. It feels like our draft class was 20 years ago.” Castellanos was taken by the Tigers with the 44th pick in the 2010 draft. Chance Ruffin, a pitcher, was taken four spots later by the Tigers, and he was traded to Seattle as part of the Doug Fister trade. Quick pause: Man, oh, man, why does everything always seem to go back to a Fister trade? But I digress. Ruffin has retired from baseball. And it seems like we haven’t even seen everything that Castellanos can become. Be aggressive, but balanced Castellanos will enter this season with a much different attitude and approach — a direct result of what he went through last season. Midway through June, Castellanos was in a horrible skid, hitting .217. He was overly aggressive and swinging at bad pitches, striking out 63 times in 63 games. He started tinkering with his swing, thinking the problem was physical. But it wasn’t. “When the struggles were going bad, everybody kind of chipped in and helped me a lot,” he said. “They knew everything that I was going through wasn’t physical.

  • Baseball Rule” Faces an Interesting Test
    The “Baseball Rule” Faces an Interesting Test One of the many beauties of baseball, affectionately known as “America’s pastime,” is the ability for people to come to the stadium and become ingrained in the action and get the chance to interact with their heroes. Going to a baseball game, as opposed to going to most other sporting events, truly gives a fan the opportunity to take part in the action. However, this can come at a steep price as foul balls enter the stands at alarming speeds and occasionally strike spectators. According to a recent study, approximately 1,750 people get hurt each year by batted 1 balls at Major League Baseball (MLB) games, which adds up to twice every three games. The 2015 MLB season featured many serious incidents that shed light on the issue of 2 spectator protection. ​ This has led to heated debates among the media, fans, and even players and 3 managers as to what should be done to combat this issue. ​ Currently, there is a pending class action lawsuit against Major League Baseball (“MLB”).
