Oh, good lord, Tork, really?

The Tigers jumped all over Yankees right-hander Luis Gil Sunday and didn’t stop.
Torkelson’s three-run homer got the party started in the first inning, sending a changeup over the left-field wall.
“This last week my swing has felt great,” Torkelson said. “But I fell into that spring training trap where you are trying to make sure your swing is dialed and you kind of forget you need an approach to hit.”
Torkelson, for as good as his swing felt, came into the game hitting .160 with two extra-base hits.
“I was like, what the heck is going on,” he said. “I wasn’t really hitting with any plan. I came in with a plan today. So that was reassuring.”
Tork admits he didn't have a plan for hitting until yesterday? His mental game has been off the entire spring?
Maybe he's the best we have at first base today, but I don't think I have much hope long-term for this guy anymore. It seems like he's trying to skate by on his innate talent. Unless he changes my mind this year, I'm all for moving on from him before his three years are up. Some will disagree, I'm sure.
