| STRENGTHS / WEAKNESSES |
Strengths: Detroit has an excellent catcher in Daminan Miller. Detroit Tigers has one of the best infields in baseball. With guys like Brown, McDonald and Hollins, the Detroit Tigers have one of the best outfields in baseball. Detroit has one strong starter. Detroit has two strong relievers. Weaknesses: Looks like they need four quality starters in the rotation. Their bullpen is missing a good long reliever. Quite frankly, the Tigers don't have any true middle relievers, so one has to imagine that's high on their wishlist. |
