Jackson to Start?
Lakeland, FL – Austin Jackson knows the Detroit Tigers expect a lot from him.
Jackson is set to become the Tigers’ new center fielder, and will start the exhibition season as their leadoff hitter.
Jackson has never played in a major league game. The Tigers got him last December from the Yankees in a three-team trade that sent All-Star center fielder Curtis Granderson to New York.
