Feel the goodness, Tom. Don't read Totally Tigers stuff so won't talk about it.. but this team is 25+ strong. Everyone doing their part.

Btw, Soto was nasty tonight.

Btw, under position for Miggy Baseball Reference it list First Baseman, Third Baseman and Leftfielder.

When did Miggy play left?

I'm with you...I do like the way this team is playing and I like most of the players that AA has acquired. I think AJ and the staff are doing a good job. I'm looking forward to the rest of the year and really looking forward to next season.

Must have been when he was in FL. It says that he has 1024 PA as a LF and 434 PA as a RF

I hope we can get shortstop. Not sure if Short is the long term answer. He seems to be a super utility type guy for the future. I wonder if we will be players in the FA market for the likes of a Trevor Story? 2nd base has been ugly this year. How many more wins would we have if we resigned Cron and had Schoop at 2nd all year? This is going to be an interesting stretch run and offseason. We have to get a SS. Why not sign Schoop to an extension now? Story, Schoop up the middle is strong in my opinion. I like the team speed, it's been a long time coming in this huge park.

Short deserves some more time.. He's a good defense SS and I don't mind him on the team. If you want offense and defense, via free agency - be prepared to pony up.

Btw, Story's away stats stink.
