Take 1 hot-button topic. Add 2 bloggers and 5 questions to make??Rapid Fire. The challenge is for our two bloggers to state their opinions in just 2 sentences. Let?s get to it!
Even though there are no real exhibition games, we?re starting to get clues about how the Tigers are coming together. Let?s see what Holly and Kurt are observing.

1. What do you currently see as the most intriguing roster battle (pitching or positional)?

2. What level of roster transition do you expect to see on Opening Day?

3. Will the one-year veterans start to step aside this season in favor of the touted prospects? If so, when?

4. Will Jordan Zimmermann, in his last year with the team, lose his roster spot if he doesn?t pitch well?

5. What moment during this current spring training caught your eye?
