We need a guy who has swing and miss abilities. The night before he was unhittable. We need a true closer.

Chapman is 37 and hasn't been dominant for a few years, plus he is a domestic abuser. Tigers shy away from those types of players.

They might be able to get a reliever from the Rockies for prospects who need everything.

We need a guy who has swing and miss abilities. The night before he was unhittable. We need a true closer. Maybe we will find one out of this group., The pen could be sharper.

We're fine without Chapman. As long as a guy gets out. Before tonight Kahnle ERA was twice as good. Vest has the same ERA.

SATURDAY SURVEY.
Totally Tigers

Jace Jung was once again sent back to Toledo. While his defense has improved, Manager A. J. Hinch said his hitting needs to be addressed.
Jung was called up originally because Ryan Kreidler wasn’t cutting it and Javier Baez had to move from 3rd base to CF as a result.
But with Jung departing 3B, there is a hole now at the hot corner. What should the Tigers do?

So far, this season, Javier Baez, Andy Ibanez and Zach McKinstry have played 3B. Ibanez playing just a few more games than the other two.
But should the Tigers move Baez back there or should they keep him in CF? Matt Vierling is still approximately a week away and Parker Meadows won’t return until mid-late June.

Baez has been a plus defender at 3rd base but he’s even better in CF. But if he stays in CF, is there a solid solution for 3B?
Where should Baez play in most games?

What position should Javier Baez primarily play for the rest of the year?

1. 3B

2. CF

[biggunsbob]

Just platoon 3rd base for now.

 

[nydo77]

Brieske still isn’t there. Big risk now.

 

[nydo77]

Timely double play!
