But is Alderson (who said recently that "some of our players aren't defensive geniuses") prepared to sacrifice defense for offense at third base?
After Turnbull, the Tigers used Joe Jimenez, Norris, Drew Carlton, Gregory Soto, Moreno and Ian Krol. The Tigers tested the new re-entry rule (only for spring training games) by using Norris for one out in the fifth inning and then the entire sixth inning. He was benched in the fifth after giving up two walks, one single and a homer, and Carlton quickly recorded the final two out of the inning. But once the sixth came around, Norris strolled back out to the mound to refine his stuff and work toward a clean inning. Only three pitchers allowed runs — Turnbull (two runs), Norris (two) and Moreno (one) — but Soto was sloppy with two walks and one strikeout. Krol recorded the final four outs, three of which came from strikeouts, to get the win.
