It's nice to see Tork getting hot again.

Looks like I picked the wrong day to go! Lol

6-0 Tigers in the 4th. They are trying to win more than 2 in a row for only the 2nd time since the end of May - they have a 4-game win streak in there, that’s it.

30 doubles for Tork! Remember when people called him a bust? Lol

I am hoping he will be a little less streaky next year.  The lows seem to be especially low for him.

Faedo out of the rotation?

Read a piece in the Freep this week, I believe it was, that Faedo will trend toward being a middle innings guy. Hinch is talking about Faedo being a two or three innings type reliever. I think it makes sense at this point.

So they are using Wentz as the fifth starter instead of Faedo?

[1776]

I believe that is correct.

I can see the logic. I'd guess they think Wentz has more potential ceiling than Faedo but he hasn't been able to find consistency so you can look at starting as a potential investment. Faedo is a nice insurance piece though. He's a Tyler Alexander type - you can keep him around as a long reliever and easily stretch him out if you lose a starter and know you at least have a guy that might steal you a game here or there.

Here's something that we have to be careful about though, moving forward,  and it is this...Joey Wentz is just freaking awful.  It's an important consideration.

LOL - the potential floor is definitely also an issue.

[buddha]

neither faedo nor wentz are any good as starters.  maybe they'll have a future in the pen.

I am satisfied with Torkelson's progress this year, but he still has a long way to go.  He still doesn't hit enough for a first baseman, especially one who is a sub-par defender.  He needs to get on base more.

he's on track more for andrew vaughn than paul konerko.

but he's still young.  i'm good with his progress this season too but he has to get better.
