DEEPER DISCUSSIONS.
Totally Tigers
In a short couple of weeks, the Tigers will officially head into the Hot Stove season looking to improve their roster. While they performed much better than expected in 2021, they still finished below .500. Given their improvement, everyone will expect the team to generate more wins and finish the year above .500.
The roster is still very much a work in progress with lots of holes.
The vast majority of the players are defensively below-average, costing the teams runs. They have been without a viable SS all year and are missing a full-time first baseman. Their top defensive catcher won?t be playing next year.
The starting rotation currently has 3 young/rookie pitchers. There are no veteran hurlers and the team went through 13 different starting pitchers last year.
Offense has been a hit-and-miss proposition. The team ranks #16 in runs with a .242 batting average, also ranked #16. Their OPS ranks #22 at .707.
While the Tigers took series from many of the top teams, they failed to beat their own competition within the AL Central.
Today?s blog addresses these 3 areas and allows readers to share their thoughts in more detail. And hopefully, to actively engage with others by responding to their posts and creating back-and-forth discussion threads.
