Last 2 games proves Baddoo should not be on the roster. Im starting to worry about Andy too. Not sure why he is even hitting against a RHP let alone starting and getting 3 at bats.

With runners at 1st and 3rd one out. Andy had. Really poor at bat.
Manufacturing runs with less than 2 outs has been an issue last few years.

It’s time to send Malloy back down too. He is only batting .200.
In the 9th needing a base runner and him being our walk guy swings at a 3-1 Count pitch.

Im starting not be sure about Carpenter in the lead off spot. We need Meadows’s back for the lead off spot.

Not good news on Gleyber Torres.

The article never mentions that the tigers have a lot more than Ibanez that can play second. McKinstry, Keith, and Ibanez .

In the midst of a solid start, Detroit Tigers infielder Gleyber Torres suffered an injury that could keep him out for a while.

When Vierling, Meadows and Perez are all back you will see Malloy and Badoo exiting. Irritating how they choke against Cleveland. You are right about the at bats. Looking at pitches well in the box and swinging at the balls, lots of misses on pitches shoulder high. One run in two games and they should have had at least two more runs. They gave up on aggressive base running losing one run. I absolutely hate Cleveland worse than any other team.

SATURDAY SURVEY.
Totally Tigers

Over the winter, it was reported that the Detroit Tigers inquired about St. Louis Cardinal Nolan Arenado who plays 3B. It was said that he would only approve a trade to a top contender which did not include the Tigers. In fact, he refused a trade to the Astros.
The Cards are still interested in trading him due to the need to cut finances and the wish to make their roster younger.
But now the Tigers are MLB’s winningest team. Would Arenado now approve a trade to Detroit?
Nolan just turned 34 years old and is owed 3 years left on his contract -$74 mill. It is expected that St. Louis would eat some of that contract.
He is still a strong defender, tied for 5th in MLB with +3 DRS.
However, his offense has been slipping. He’s currently hitting .242/.313/.382/.695 with 5 HRs and 21 RBIs. It should be noted that he recently asked the Cards to drop him in the batting order to #6.
However, Nolan walks a lot, strikes out below MLB average and puts the ball in play at an above-average rate.
So how would he fit the Tigers?
Third base is the most obvious way the Tigers can improve their roster. Those who have played the position for Detroit have a .597 OPS which ranks 25th in MLB. It is the weakest position in the Tigers’ roster.
If the Tigers don’t trade for him, they would rely upon Javier Baez, Zach McKinstry and Matt Vierling to hold down the position. There is no one in the minors close to being able to play 3B at the MLB level.
Should the Tigers make a trade for Arenado or stick with what they have now?

Should the Tigers trade for Nolan Arenado?

1. Yes.

2. No.
