Saturday was Bobby Seay’s day to pitch. But the left handed reliever did not make the bus trip to Dunedin to face the Toronto Blue Jays.
        Edwin Jackson is scheduled to make his next start on Thursday. However, it will not be against the Blue Jays in the Tigers’ Grapefruit League finale in Lakeland.
        The gamesmanship has begun.
        The Tigers open the season against the Blue Jays in Toronto on April 6 -- Jackson will start Game Two --  and Jim Leyland does not want the Toronto hitters to become too familiar with the Tiger pitchers.    
        Meanwhile, shortstop Adam Everett, sidelined with a sprained ankle, worked out on Saturday and may be ready to return to the lineup as soon as Monday.
        Jeremy Bonderman, Dontrelle Willis and Zach Miner are all scheduled to pitch Sunday, weather permitting, in a game that will be carried on the Tigers’ TV and radio networks.
        A week ago, Leyland said he was “99.9 percent certain,” Miner would start the season in the bullpen.
        However, with Bonderman’s return delayed indefinitely and Nate Robertson slowed by a sprained thumb, Leyland said Saturday that number on Miner “is a little lower now.”
