SO YOU WANT TO BE THE MANAGER?
Totally Tigers

Once again, readers get a chance to make their own decisions about the Tigers. Our newest blog, So You Want to Be the Manager? offers you that opportunity.
The segment tests our readers in determining how they would handle decisions as the skipper. So, here is your next assignment as Tiger manager. Let?s get to it!

JaCoby Jones is not only the hottest hitter in the Tiger lineup, he is among the American League leaders. With a batting average sitting at .421 and 5 extra base hits heading into Thursday night?s game, it is safe to say he is among the hottest #9 hitters in all of baseball.

So, if you are the manager, what would you do? It?s your team and your lineup to put together. Would you make any changes based on Jones? success at the plate?
Please participate in the survey in order to state your case for the starting rotation. Don?t forget to come back and check the results and include your comments that support your choice.

With JaCoby Jones hitting so well and batting 9th, would you consider moving him up in the lineup?

1. Yes, the way he is hitting, I would move him up.

2. No, I wouldn't mess with him right now.

Vote.
 
The Tigers are placing outfielder Cameron Maybin on the injured list because of a strained quad. Maybin suffered the injury Thursday, just the sixth game since the once-touted Tigers prospect returned to Detroit for a third stint. The club signed Maybin to a one-year, $1.5MM deal in free agency.

THE SATURDAY SURVEY.
Totally Tigers

The Saturday Survey offers readers the opportunity to weigh in on a relevant topic. So here is a poll to gauge the pulse of our baseball-lovin? peeps.

Today, we center the discussion on Miguel Cabrera and how he has started the season offensively.

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!

Through the first tenth of the season, Miguel Cabrera has been struggling at the plate, hitting .091 with 1 HR and 2 RBIs. Then on Thursday night, Miggy hit 2 HRs. Through his first 7 games, he?s now hitting .154 in 26 at-bats with 4 hits, 3HRs and 8 SOs.

The season is still very young and prepping for this very strange season has been problematic. However, Miggy is now 37 and has battled a number of injuries including back and knee issues.

To his credit, he has lost a significant amount of weight since the 2019 season and had a fine spring training back in March.

Please participate in the survey in order to convey where you stand on Miggy and how he has started the season.

From what you know and have seen about Cabrera, what do you believe is the primary cause of his slow start to the season?
1. Too early to have an opinion.

2. Typical of his usual slow start to the season.

3. Pandemic-related changes to the season.

4. He?s getting older.

5. His back and knees are to blame.

6. No worries, he?ll be fine.

7. Other.

Vote.
