Are you really writing Candy off after three weeks? I trust you have been watching baseball for a while and know that slumps like this happen to several good hitters every year.

Complain about the defense I guess. But the reason the Tigers are 4 games below .500 after 16 games is the offense. I believe the Tigers have scored more than 3 runs only 5 times. More than 4 runs (the MLB average) only three times. They are second to last in HRs with a total of 8. Several of these guys have track records to suggest brighter days are ahead. Just have to wait it out.

Speaking of Paredes, he is off to a great start at TB's AAA affiliate. 155 RC+, with a 593 Slugging Percentage in 70 PAs.

Another top 5 draft pick!!!!!

Granderson was at AA when he was 22. And he only collected 200 PA before age 25. So Baddoo is certainly ahead of Granderson on the learning curve.

I'd be happy to split the difference. 270/320/475 would be solid.

Schoop is a streaky hitter as well. Maybe Baez and Schoop can alternate their hot streaks. Would give the lineup at least one dangerous hitter most of the time.

Five or six better hitters (by OPS+) than Candy per playoff team is a bit of an exaggeration. But this year most playoff teams do have 3-4 hitters better than Candy. The Yankees and Brewers are exceptions. Each only had one hitter better than Jeimer. On the flip side, the Dodgers had 7 hitters with an OPS+ better than the Tigers' best hitter. That's how you win 105 games.
