Clearly the worst team ever even if their record comes up a few short. The 2003 team didn't play a rebuilding KC and the White Sox 19 times each. They do not have a single position player who is any good right now. Not one. Rogers couldn't hit a beach ball. Stewart can't field a routine ground ball. Our rookie shortstop can't make a routine throw. Our 3rd base hope is hitting .190 on his 2nd stint with the team. Our 30 million dollar man is a broken down singles hitter. In a year with record home runs we do not have one player close to 20.
I had some hope the rebuild might kick in by 2021 but not any more.

Let's not forget 1-12 6.85 $25 Million dollar man Jordan Zimmerman.

Positives? Victor Reyes, Harold Castro, Jacoby Jones and Lugo show promise. Boyd, Norris and Turnbull showed me they can pitch. Even then only Boyd is a genuine item.

Terrible Tigers. Hate to see how few season tickets they sell for next season.
Pretty soon they'll have to raffle cars like they did when Ilitch had the Dead Wings.

Disagree about these hitters showing promise. Maybe Jones but the others only look decent because of the extremely low bar set by the rest of the team. None of them have power and without it in today's game you can't be an everyday player on a good team.
