WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY.
Totally Tigers

The Tigers got off to a slow start this season and naturally, discussions started to center on the current level of talent.
Dillon Dingler, Colt Keith and Kevin McGonigle are playing well and meeting their expectations. But there are others who continue to generate concern over their inconsistent performances.
Other than the 3 mentioned above, Gleyber Torres and Javy Baez will be gone in 1-2 years. That leaves Spencer Torkelson as the last member of the infield.
In the outfield, there is Riley Greene, Parker Meadows (long-term IL), Kerry Carpenter, Wenceel Perez and Matt Vierling.
The rotation is expected to lose Tarik Skubal and Jack Flaherty after this year. Casey Mize may become a free agent and Justin Verlander is on a 1-year contract. Framber Valdez’s contract goes through 2027 and possibly as long as 2029.
Keider Montero is under team control as are Reese Olson and Jackson Jobe who are both on the long-term IL.
The bullpen, known to be highly volatile in its relievers, is hard to predict and for purposes of this blog, will not be considered. As well, utility players will also not be included in our discussions.
In all, there are 13 candidates for you to consider:
Infield – Dingler, Torkelson, Keith, McGonigle
Outfield – Greene, Meadows, Carpenter, Perez, Vierling
Rotation – Jobe, Montero, Olson, Valdez
Out of all these players, how many of them will become/stay as the core of this team in 2 years (2028)?

How many of the Tigers' core players will remain on the roster in 2028?

I think 8 or 9 will still be on the roster

I saw this stat too. The media and bloggers are really coming down hard on Tork for his shitty start. I would really like to know a little more about these 47 first pitch fastballs. How many of those 47 fastballs were actually strikes? According to an AI search, he has been in a 0-1 count in 14 ABs this season. It looks like he only put the ball in play 2 times in a 0-0 count. So out 54 times out of 70 ABs (77% of the time) he has been correct to not swing because it was a ball?

I chose 6 to 8.
