00:00All right, let's go to first base now.
00:04What do we have and where can we go?
00:07Well we had a big conversation a couple of weeks ago about Spencer Torkelson and I said
00:11hold because I thought he was starting to turn things around a little bit and I still
00:16believe that.
00:17I think that the Tigers just have gotten frustrated and if the Tigers are frustrated, you can
00:22only imagine fantasy owners, right?
00:24Because the fantasy manager out there, you know, had an investment in Torkelson, a guy
00:27that had a really bad start last year, a really bad start this year, and then last
00:33year turned it on and ended up hitting 30 bombs.
00:36And this year, since he's been sent down, I just want to point this out.
00:39Five games, has a homer, hitting .333 with a .391 on base percentage, a .963 OPS.
00:44Now it's a short sample, it's a small sample, but I do think it's just a matter of time
00:48before Torkelson comes back up.
00:50Is he going to be a .300 hitter at the major level?
00:52No.
00:53He's a kid that's still trying to figure things out and maybe he was rushed a little bit developmentally,
00:56but I would keep him on my roster in a deeper league if I could, because I do think you're
01:00going to see him up here by the end of the month, if not sooner.
01:03And I do think he can be a contributor in the second half and that power is for real.
