No. 49 Derek Holland, LHP, 6-2, 213, Opening Day age: 34. Sometimes the best way to motivate a player is to tell him he can’t do something. Holland got fed up hearing that he was washed up, that he was no longer capable of getting big league hitters out. He signed a make-good non-roster deal with the Tigers and spent the offseason training his body, tweaking his mechanics and refashioning some of his pitches. The result was an utterly dominant spring -- 9.1 scoreless innings, 15 strikeouts. There was no way he could’ve been denied this roster spot. 2020: 1-3, 6.86 ERA, 1.40 WHIP. 2021 salary -- N/A.
