    Tigers' Carson Kelly seeking a late career surge similar to his mentor, Yadier Molina

    Catcher Carson Kelly, a second-round draft pick of the St. Louis Cardinals in 2012, was anxious to make a good impression. “It almost felt like he never slept,” Kelly said. Imagine having Molina, a future Hall-of-Famer who finished his career with two World Series rings, nine Gold Gloves, four Platinum Gloves and 10 All-Star appearances, leading the catcher's room in your first big-league camp. Imagine your first big-league manager being Mike Matheny, who had a 13-year career and won four Gold Gloves himself.
