"“With their prospective role on the team defined, Detroit Tiger infielders Andrew Romine and Hernan Perez have commenced a Grapefruit League battle to determine who’s better suited to be the utility man for 2015 … with the exception of catcher, this year’s utility player must be able to play every infield position.”"
