Palmer feels strong and healthy In Palmer’s mind, there’s no question now that he’s healthy. The Tigers medical staff considers him healthy enough that he begins spring training with absolutely no restrictions on his activity. For the first time since the spring of 2000, he won’t be on his own program but will take part in all the drills with his teammates.

All kidding aside, the Tigers need to get Dean Palmer back and healthy. He’s the only somewhat legitimate power threat in their lineup.
