SO YOU WANT TO BE THE MANAGER?
Totally Tigers
Once again, readers get a chance to make their own decisions about the Tigers. So You Want to Be the Manager? offers you that opportunity.
The segment puts our readers to the test in determining how they would handle decisions as the skipper. So let?s see what your next assignment is as Tiger manager!
(Comments may be extended for this segment, but please do not exceed 8 sentences in your response.)
The Tiger farm system is loaded with quality pitching, which is something that is encouraging for the future. But from a positional standpoint, they are lacking. That?s why the last 2 Tiger first round draft picks have been position players. What we have seen of Riley Greene is very exciting and encouraging. And Spencer Torkelson? Well, he was drafted #1 and immediately became the Tigers? top prospect.
But what about Isaac Paredes? He arrived from the Cubs? organization as part of the trade that brought Detroit Jeimer Candelario in exchange for Justin Wilson and Alex Avila.
In just a handful of games, Paredes has impressed everyone since his promotion to the big club. His discipline at the plate is really unmatched by so many others on this Tiger roster. He appears to be a keeper and his strength is at the plate. However, his defense at third base has some cracks.
Earlier in the season, Jeimer Candelario moved from third to first base to fill the vacancy left by the injured C.J. Cron. He has done a fair job at first, but he had actually been playing a very good third base before Cron?s injury. And secondly, his offense has really picked up.
So, if you are the manager, what is going through your mind when it comes to Paredes and Candelario? It?s your team to field. Would you make any changes?
Please participate in the survey in order to state your case. Don?t forget to come back and check the results and include your comments that support your choice.
Defensively, when it comes to Isaac Paredes and Jeimer Candelario, what changes would you make if any?
1. I wouldn't change anything, let them stay where they are for this season.
2. Candelario needs to play some third when Paredes sits, just to keep him fresh at his best position.
3. I would give Paredes time at all of the other infield positions.
4. If Schoop is traded, I would move Paredes to second, Candy back to third and bring up a first baseman from Toledo.
5. I don't know.
6. Other.
Vote.
