The Tigers have announced the following roster moves:
*Placed LHP Tyler Alexander on the 60-day injured list, retroactive to July 3, with a left lat/shoulder strain
*Reinstated LHP Tarik Skubal from the 60-day injured list
Tork can get a day off. But he has to play just about everyday. He's either capable of adjusting his approach or he's not. We have to find out. It's not hard to replace a 1B/DH with these numbers.
They are being dishonest with the fanbase if they are calling up Nevin instead Meadows/Lipcius/anyone else.
Either they don't think like prospects from the previous regime or they don't want to make the major league team even a bit better. There is no logical reason to run it back with Nevin for the 3rd time in 3 months.
2020 hurt him...he was probably rushed. But a college hitter taken 1-1 should farther along than this. He might turn it around. The inability to stack even 2-3 weeks of quality hitting is bad. It's a good 5 games and then two weeks of nothing.
Tork getting some cover for going 0-5...I don't have much to add to the discourse on him. He'll get another full season but even the best case scenario is a league average hitter with no defensive value.
By keeping Schoop and Maton on the roster, you are signalling that winning games isn't important. Harris said it himself. But you aren't holding anyone accountable for lack of production. You just throw the same guys out there expecting different results.
Do we need more evidence that they don't care about wins and losses? Scott Harris basically said it on Monday. They continue to roll out most of the same offense every day. Either they don't have options or the don't have the urgency to change things.
