WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY.
Totally Tigers
There is a very good chance this year that the Tigers will end up with less than 90 losses. An improvement over the 2022 season.
However, it is not expected that the team will reach .500 this year. And in win-loss percentage, they rank 11th out of 15 American League teams.
Progress is slowly being seen in less than 1 year with the new Front Office including both player, media and fan acknowledgement that the team is showing improvement under the new regime.
It?s looking more likely that the roster has found its new heart of the order being anchored by Kerry Carpenter, Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson.
But there are still some questions about offense as well as a number of infield positions.
The starting rotation will go into the off-season with a number of vacancies while the bullpen remains fairly strong.
As fans discuss when the Tigers will become viable again, it leads us to thinking about the current 26-man roster.
If the team wants to move forward, how many of these current players will remain as part of the solution?
How many of them will not be here in a year or two?
And will the roster solutions come from within or via free agency?
What about trades? Will the Tigers need to give up someone of value in order to acquire the needed pieces?
These are the questions to ask yourself and others as we ponder just how much the Tigers? roster needs to change. Let?s kick start some good discussion threads here ? and to take with you wherever you go during the rest of the week.
How much of the current Tigers roster will still be standing when the team reaches a competitive level?
How much of the current roster will be left when the Tigers become a competitive team?
1. 3/4th
2. 1/2
3. 1/4th
4. less than 1/4th
