DETROIT (AP) Grayson Greiner compared it to college, and JaCoby Jones wonders if it's possible to make this training camp a little more ... interesting.

"Maybe we'll have little fun bets and little wagers on it and just make it a little more fun, and a little more competition," said Jones, an outfielder for the Detroit Tigers.

It's been clear for while that preparing for this baseball season will be different. Instead of a full schedule of formal spring training games, teams are mostly on their own ahead of opening day in less than three weeks.
