By Lynn Henning | Special to The Detroit News We gather together today to ponder the imponderable. Max Clark’s numbers. His athleticism. His citizenship. And, more feasibly, his possible top-five status heading into July’s annual MLB Draft, which has the Tigers with a third pick. Here we go (seat belts recommended): Five games, 14 at-bats, 12

Perhaps you’ve seen — or shared — that meme going around social media these days, as the weather oh-so-slowly transitions from “freezing” to “really cold, but sunny, so where’re my shorts?” detailing “The 11 seasons of Michigan”: “Second winter,” “mud season,” “summer,” “second summer,” and so on.
