Tork did something somewhat remarkable this past season- he did better in MLB than at Toledo. Prior to his callup he was doing poorly at Toledo and he had not earned the callup. Its possible he is an adjustment away from doing well. I believe another team will get him going if Detroit does not. What he did tho in Detroit was unacceptable-got to do much better. If he does not improve in spring training then in Detroit He will be traded then another team that develops hitting like the Tigers develop pitching will improve him Im convinced of it. But heres the kicker, batspeed and reflexes typically lessen at about age 27 to 30 , so when Torks physical skills lessen I believe he will be toast. So the idea is to get him going for the next few years. One thing I always said about Tork is that his batspeed ,reflexes are marginal, often guessing fastball in order to hit fastball.
We could probably get Ryan Mountcastle for a song.
