Around the horn;
? Victor Martinez made his first appearance at Joker Marchant Stadium on Thursday morning, but it was a brief one. Martinez drove to Tigertown from his home near Orlando, Fla., to attend a mandatory team meeting regarding domestic violence.
According to Tigers manager Brad Ausmus, Martinez went through his personal rehab session at 5 a.m. ET on Thursday so he could attend the meeting. Martinez is expected to join the Tigers next week.
? Justin Verlander and David Price were among the pitchers to throw live batting practice during Thursday's workout. After completing his session, Price walked onto another field and stood behind the cage and watched Verlander pitch.
Ausmus also watched Verlander pitch and came away impressed.
"I thought the ball was coming out of his hand good," Ausmus said. "I thought he had a little bit more on it today, even in the bullpens and live BP, compared to last year."
? Yoenis Cespedes put on a show during batting practice, as expected. The slugging outfielder launched several home runs over the batter's eye in center field, 420 feet away.
"He's got some power," Ausmus said, smiling as he added: "He had a little bit of wind behind him today, though."

February 27 in Tigers and mlb history:

1901 - The National League Rules Committee decrees that all foul balls are to count as strikes, except after two strikes. To cut the cost of lost foul balls, the committee urges that batsmen who foul off good strikes are to be disciplined. The American League will not adopt this rule for several years.
Other new rules: catchers must play within 10 feet of the batter; a ball will be called if the pitcher does not throw to a ready and waiting batter within 20 seconds, and players using indecent or improper language will be banished by the umpire. A ball will be called when a batter is hit by a pitch, but, in a mail vote, the owners will rescind this in April, and a HBP will earn a batter first base.

1908: The sacrifice fly rule is adopted. No time at bat is charged if a run scores after the catch of a fly ball. The rule will be repealed in 1931, then reinstated (or changed) several times before gaining permanent acceptance in 1954.

1948 - Newly elected to the Hall of Fame are Herb Pennock and Pie Traynor. Needing 91 votes for selection, Pennock, who died a month before, gets 94 votes, Traynor 93. Just missing are Al Simmons, Charlie Gehringer and Bill Terry.
