The Detroit Tigers are expected to be sellers at this year’s trade deadline. Potentially, they could be trading away:
– a pitcher
– a reliever
– a catcher
– an infielder
If they lose a player to a trade, they will need to call up someone from the minors. If you could pick just one, who would you select?
Here are your choices:
Justice Bigbie (RF) – To replace Vierling who would move to 1B and Carpenter who is still on the IL.
Dillon Dingler (C) – To replace Carson Kelly who may be traded.
Jace Jung (3B) – To platoon with Gio Urshela who will also play 1B.
Keep in mind that more of these players will be called up later in the summer.
But who should be
the first call-up?
Should the Tigers focus on putting someone in with the shortest learning curve so the team may finish the season on their strongest note?
Or should this be more of a tryout/dress rehearsal that may impact their win-loss record?
Finally, are these players ready to be tested at the MLB level? Would being called up too soon do damage to their development?
