Tigers line-ups likely


With the changes in personnel just thought I'd run through who will be likely where over the end of this season. Hope there may be a surprise or two along the way!

Catchers - Rogers, Haase, with a call up from Greiner probably too.

First Base - Candelario will see more time here, Schoop, and Nunez perhaps somewhere along the line.

Second Base - Clemens could likely appear soon, Harold Castro, and Goodrum maybe mostly for now.

Third Base - Paredes mostly, Castro, Goodrum, and Candelario less and less.

Shortstop - Short, Paredes, Goodrum, and perhaps a look at Kriedler!

Left Field - Grossman and Baddoo day-in and day-out.

Center Field - Hill spelled by Baddoo now and then.

Right Field - Cameron might get a surprise visit from Greene, but we'll wait and see.

DH - Cabrera really should stay in this role, but might get a game here and there at first too.

SP - Mize, Skubal, and Manning will make appearances, but will be eased off to assure they don't get hurt. Hopefully, Boyd, Turnbull, Peralta, and Urena can be more mainstays, and perhaps Teheran will reappear on the scene. I won't be too surprised if Hutchison gets a call-up if the roster gets adjusted, but there's not a lot more they can do with the rotation. If Rony Garcia looks prepared he might get a start here and there.

RP - Soto, Alexander, Fulmer, Funkhouser, Jimenez, Norris, Farmer, and the gang will probably be augmented by a few more from the minors.

The biggest actions might be subtractions from the 40-man roster as the Tigers move to protect and promote those that they want to retain for the longer term.
