THE SATURDAY SURVEY.
Totally Tigers

The Saturday Survey offers the opportunity to weigh in on a relevant topic.
So here is a poll to gauge the pulse of our passionate readers.
Today, we center the discussion on the candidates to fill the vacant role at first base, other than the couple of days when Miggy plays the position.
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!

The Detroit Tigers do not have a single player on their roster, with the exception of Miguel Cabrera, whose primary position is first base. Miggy will be returning to play first base, however his manager has stated that it will only be once to twice a week.
In the meantime, the Tigers need to fill that defensive position for the other 5-6 days of the week. There has been a discussion of ?first base by committee? that would include Jonathan Schoop, Jeimer Candelario, Niko Goodrum and Renato Nunez. Nunez was signed to a minor league contract and would have to earn a spot on the roster first.

So, who do you feel is the answer when it comes to filling the need at first base? Let us know what you think by participating in the survey below.
Other than Miggy, who is the strongest option at filling this first base need?

1. Jeimer Candelario
2. Niko Goodrum
3. Renato Nunez
4. Committee
5. Free agent signing

Spencer Torkelson ? No. 9 on our Top 100 Prospects list ? was asked earlier this week about slowing the game down. (I believe the question was posed by broadcaster Matt Shepard.) Last year?s first-overall draft pick supplied an answer that exuded both calm and confidence.

?It comes over time,? said the 21-year-old Arizona State product. ?Getting the repetitions in practice, day after day, nothing is new, nothing surprises you. You know going into an at bat, or an inning out in the field, that anything that comes your way, you?re ready for it. You know you?re going to get the job done.?

The Tigers will be counting on Torkelson to get the job done in the not-too-distant future. Detroit?s rebuild won?t bear fruit on the shoulders of its promising pitching alone. The young hitters need to mature as well, and Torkelson ? calm, cool, and collected ? could very well be on the fast track. As much as anyone, he?s the key to the club?s return to relevance in the AL Central.
