Friday: Tigers at Braves
No Clete Thomas today, as expected. He was in street clothes when I saw him in the clubhouse this morning. Don Kelly is on the trip, though. In fact, he’s batting leadoff today with Austin Jackson and Scott Sizemore off.

Heyward is impressive. Hearing him talk, I can easily see him becoming a massive star. He certainly does not lack for confidence.
