WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY.
Totally Tigers

Jace Jung is expected to go into his first full season as the Detroit Tigers’ 3Ber. He started his career as a 2Ber but was moved to 3B less than 2 years ago. Curiously enough, his brother, Josh, plays elite defense at 3B for the Texas Rangers.
Jung was moved, in part, because of Colt Keith and concern over a shoulder injury that moved him to 2B which is Jung’s natural position. In the short time he played 3B, Jace earned a -6 DRS.
It is said that his arm is strong but that his footwork needs much improvement. He continues to work with a number of coaches, including Alan Trammell.
But now, Colt Keith has been moved to 1B and the new 2Ber, Gleyber Torres is here for just 1 year. Torres, for the record, was signed for his bat, not his glove. He has a -11DRS last year to rank at the bottom of 2Bers.
It is not a slam dunk that Jung will be the Tigers’ 3Ber this year. Potentially, he could be sent down to AAA. Matt Vierling, who plays well at the hot corner, will have some time there. Maybe even earning the role of starting 3Ber.
Then there is Hao-Yu Lee who is playing superb baseball both defensively and offensively. A number of analysts predict he will see Detroit this year as either a 2Ber or 3Ber.
Given the rising prospects, coupled with Keith moving to 1B, what should the Tigers do about planning Jung’s future?
Should he stay at 3B short- or long-term? Or should he return to 2B?

What should the Tigers do about Jace Jung?

1. Keep him at 3B going forward.

2. Keep him temporarily at 3B but move him back to 2B next year.

3. Move him to 2B later this season when Lee comes up.

The Tigers seem to have screwed up with Keith. He was the natural 3B, they gave him (and only him) a long term contract before even stepping on the MLB field, put him at his un-natural position, then moved him to another un-natural position (1B).

If that shoulder injury was so bad that 3 years later he still can't throw, why the hell did they give him all that money? That's pretty reckless
