The Tigers are glad Drew Smyly put on some weight during the offseason, according to CBSSports.com Baseball Insider Jon Heyman.
Smyly will get a shot at the team's rotation, and may have added some pounds in order to perform better in his new role. After starting 18 games in 2012, Smyly was used strictly out of the bullpen last season. With Doug Fister traded to the Nationals, the team has one open spot at the back of the rotation.
Smyly posted a 2.37 ERA in 76 innings out of the bullpen last year.
