"It's going to be a tough spring," manager Jim Leyland said as his rotation candidates wound their way through their first outings of the spring. "But we all know it. There's nowhere to hide. There's nowhere to duck it. So let's see how they all look."

First time through meant nothing, and it's quite likely the second and third appearances of the spring for starter candidates won't mean squat for the hurlers trying to line up behind right-handers Justin Verlander, Rick Porcello and Max Scherzer.
