LAKELAND, Fla. -- Craig Monroe has convinced the Tigers he can play center field. Starting next week, he's ready to convince the rest of the city.

"I think I'm going to surprise you guys this year," he told reporters Wednesday. "It's going to happen. I'm going to be able to handle center field. I really believe that."

I really like this kid, and he has tons of potential. He'll be a very good player.
