THE SATURDAY SURVEY.
Totally Tigers
The Saturday Survey offers another readers the opportunity to weigh in on a relevant topic. So here is a poll to gauge the pulse of our baseball-lovin? and starvin? and pleadin? for the crack of the bat peeps.
Today, we center the discussion on Casey Mize and how he should be handled this season.
As always, we welcome your comments, so please vote and then submit your reasons (4 sentences max!) for how you voted in the usual comment box. Don?t forget to come back later and view the results!
With less than 24 hours before Opening Day, the Tigers just finalized their starting rotation but clarified that things may change during this short 60-game season. They have named their starters for the first 3 games but have not decided on who will start their 4th and 5th games.
Dario Agrazal, Matthew Boyd, Ivan Nova and Spencer Turnbull have been named with the potential of teaming Michael Fulmer and Tyler Alexander as ?openers? to fill the 5th slot.
Jordan Zimmermann is not expected to make it back given that his IL stint is 45 days in a 60-game season and Daniel Norris just made his first appearance at Spring Training 2.0 and is not yet ready to pitch.
Casey Mize, who appears to be ready by many of the analysts who have seen him, was not named to the roster. It was expected since that move would start his service clock. However, if the Tigers wait a mere 7 games and then add him, the clock would not start this year. He was not named to the taxi squad and will stay in Toledo training and playing simulated games with other Tigers.
Please participate in the survey in order to convey where you stand on Casey Mize and in what manner you feel he should be used this season.
What is the best move the Tigers should make with Mize given the short season, no minor league baseball and the timing of the Tigers rebuild?
1. Should have been named to the Opening Day roster.
2. Wait 7 days and then add him to the roster.
3. Add him to the roster in the first half of the season.
4. Keep him in Toledo and bring him up occasionally.
5. Bring him up towards the end of the season.
6. Keep him in Toledo the entire season.
7. Not sure.
Vote.
