I'm going to predict Torkelson rejoins the Tigers in Chicago on the 20th.

Would be cool to see Tork, Greene, Carp and Keith together in September.

You can see the easy power and why he was looked at to be a 40 HR guy. Hopefully they can figure out a way to fix him.

Another trade acquisition pitching for the WhiteCaps today, J Montalvo, looking decent so far.

Clark improving even faster than they are moving him up.

Statcast currently has Colt at +1 runs above average and the kid is turning the DP as well as anyone. Colt at 2B is not going to be pressing problem for the Tigers.

If Jung doesn't cut it at 2b that will present a dilemma though.

Jung might be a better fit on another team, perhaps one that would have a better fit for us.

Jung is a 3b.

yJung is a 3b.

yeah, I typoed that. He came up at 2b, they moved him to 3rd pretty much because they moved Colt to 2nd. He's played about 25% of the his game this season at 2b so they are keeping his hand in there. When he was in the lower levels I don't remember any complaints about his D at 2b, but it's not like it was a hot topic of conversation either way.

[1984Echoes]

Between Jung, Keith, and Hao Yu Lee...

I think we can get some 2B coverage there.

The questions are then: 3B: Can Jung be a positive there? Or if 2B is taken over (by Lee or Jung...), can Keith slide back over to 3B? Can his shoulder hold up there? Is the team better off with Keith at 3B and someone else at 2B?

And... Who covers 1B? Can Tork fix his issues well enough that he's our starting 1B'man for at least the next few years? Does he continue to struggle and gets stuck at AAA? Can Keith or Jung slide over to 1B? Can Keith and/or Jung show enough bat to warrant either one of them residing there? Does that fix the problem?

I'm surprised since Baez and McKinstry are both hitting in August. Plus, Baddoo just had a walk off hit.
