2025 Tigers Spring Training

If you have guys that mash at those "defensive" positions, you still want to have a big bat at 1B. You don't want a slap hitter that can't play defense at 1B.

1b to me, is a place you want a guy that can hit 30 homers. Oh wait.....

What's the difference two slap hitters, 2 power hitters either way. Wade Boggs at 3B, no one seemed to mind. Arraez has had his share at 1B in his career so far. Nathaniel Lowe not your typical 1B, 18 HR or less except for one year. Lots of guys who play 1B that aren't "sluggers/mashers/power hitters."

And generally you want your 1B to be good defensively.

that article makes a lot of sense, except this.

"Is it worth signing 1 player who may negatively impact the rest of the team? You know the answer to that one. So does Scott Harris."

She was talking about Bregman. The Tigers tried to get Bregman and were in on him until he decided he didn't want to play here.
