For old-school Leyland, some new technology

For old-school Leyland, some new technology

LAKELAND, Fla. -- One of the subtle surprises of reporting day Monday was the shiny new iPad on old-school manager Jim Leyland's desk. It was an offseason acquisition for him, and he knows how to use it.

"I FaceTimed with my wife this morning," Leyland said Tuesday when asked how much he uses it. "She looked good."

He doesn't have that same reaction when he sees himself on it.

"When I see myself on this Face Time," Leyland said, "I see what everybody says now about how old I look. I think I look pretty good until I get on that camera. All the wrinkles I don't see when I look in the mirror, I see on there."
