WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY.
Totally Tigers

Spring training is officially over. Although it is a time of experimentation and try-outs, results can also give us a little hint of things we may expect.
The Tigers finished with 20 wins, 9 losses and 4 ties. Overall, they finished 2nd (out of 15 teams) after the Baltimore Orioles in the Grapefruit League. They also ranked 2nd in runs scored and run differential.
In 2023, they finished 2 games under .500 in 11th place (out of 15 teams). They ranked 13th in (negative) run differential.

There was more competition – legitimate competition – for a number of roster spots. The majority of the starting rotation is new and the bullpen has had significant changes. Positionally, there are 3 new infielders and 1 outfielder. Four others have graduated from rookie status into more experienced roles.
As we await Thursday’s Opening Day, how are you feeling about what you’ve seen this spring?
How many players impressed you? Disappointed you?
Did you see noticeable improvements in play? At the plate?
Does this appear to be a team that has finally left the rebuilding stage and is ready to compete?
How happy are you about the overall performance of this team over the past 6 weeks?
Please grade this team based upon what you’ve seen, heard and read about the team’s performance during the 2024 spring training season.

What are your impressions of this new roster based upon what you've seen during spring training?

1. Very impressed with the majority of the roster.

2. The team is better than I thought they would be.

3. There's a lotta good, but also a lotta holes still.

4. My impressions vary from day to day.

I think this is a really good thing. These two worked hard and the Tigers gave them every opportunity to be starters, but it didn't work out. I think they have the arm talent to be good bull pen pieces.

from her article: "You simply can’t have 2 rookie players up the middle in the infield"

Tram and Lou were both rookies.
