Tigers legend Al Kaline nervous (?!?!) about throwing today's first pitch.
from the freep

Wow, nervous. You know, I watched the game on FSD and saw the players being called from the announcer before game time but they didn't air the Kaline pitch. Bummer, I would have like to have seen that.

I think Kaline did look a little nervous but he still looks great though. Thanks KC.

Al Alburquerque cleared to start throwing program.
DETROIT -- The Tigers opened their 2012 season without Al Alburquerque, the high-strikeout reliever whose rookie season gave Detroit's bullpen an injection of power pitching. Yet he cleared a major hurdle Wednesday that puts him on the road to a return.

Renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews examined Alburquerque's surgically repaired elbow Wednesday and cleared him to begin a throwing program. It'll be a slow progression; Alburquerque will play catch from 60 feet away every other day for the next two weeks before he's examined for the next step. But less than four months out from surgery that inserted a screw near the tip of Alburquerque's elbow, he's throwing, which is something he wasn't doing during Spring Training.

Alburquerque remains in Lakeland, Fla., where he'll do all his throwing. He spent Spring Training doing strength and conditioning work to get in shape for when he could start throwing. He's still on a timetable to return around the All-Star break.

Andrews, who operated on Alburquerque in December, performed a similar procedure on Joel Zumaya last year after the former Tigers reliever had problems with the initial surgery.

Victor Martinez scheduled for second knee surgery.
DETROIT -- While the city was welcoming Prince Fielder back home Thursday for Opening Day, the man whose injury led to Fielder's return was waiting for the next step in his road back.

The Tigers were awaiting an update Thursday from doctors on Victor Martinez, who was scheduled to have his second and final surgery this week to repair his left knee.

Nearly three months have passed since Martinez blew out his anterior cruciate ligament during agility workouts at home in Orlando, Fla., but the injury was bad enough that he needed two surgeries nearly two months apart. He had microfracture surgery in February to repair damage to his meniscus, but he needed six or seven weeks of recovery before doctors could repair his ACL.

Martinez is expected to miss the entire season. With his bat out, the Tigers are planning on a rotation at designated hitter. Ryan Raburn started there on Thursday, with Andy Dirks expected to DH on Saturday.
