fathom Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 10, 2013 -> 02:59 AM) What's your take on Viciedo? Here is a guy that looked like he had finally figured it out last year and this year is garbage at the plate in my opinion I think he needs a change of scenery, but if you're in a rebuilding season next year, there's no harm in holding on to him another year unless you get great value for him.

Here is a guy that looked like he had finally figured it out last year and this year is garbage at the plate in my opinion My take is what Fathom said and what I just said. He needs to be reborn/remade. He's a very very bad baseball hitter right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's incredible, and one of the biggest reasons 2014 make sense for rebuilding is that it's not realistic to think you can compete with this Tigers team next year.

mikep Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 08:59 PM) That was a bad at bat by Tank. Hope he learns how to hit the next 6 weeks and starts out strong next year. Can't somebody teach Tank how to hit?? If not Manto bring in somebody else to work with Tank on developing an approach up there that doesn't require him trying to hit everything 600 feet. Perfect example of the frustration felt by Manto and Baines. Five hittable balls,and he overswung on everyone of them. The guy is regressing big time.
