The Tigers are trying to end a run of five straight full seasons with a bottom-six OBP. They traded for Mark Canha, declined Miguel Cabrera’s option, are giving over playing time to some young hitters like Colt Keith and Parker Meadows. They’re not going to have a good offense, but with four starters 24 and younger, including breakout candidate Spencer Torkelson, they may have a passable one, and a passable one could be enough, with this pitching, to contend.
