Detroit Tigers: Jimmy Paredes as a Bench Option

Detroit Tigers bench players haven’t exactly lit the world on fire this season.

Mike Aviles has hit just .150 in 44 plate appearances, while Bobby Wilson wasn’t all that better, posting a .154 batting average in his brief, 15 plate-appearance, stint in Motown.

While Aviles and Wilson’s batting averages aren’t anything to write home about, the numbers actually get worse. Tyler Collins managed a .100 batting average in 20 plate appearances, while Andrew Romine has posted a meager .125 batting average and .458 OPS in 28 plate appearances.

Steven Moya has been a positive, but he’s currently in Triple-A.
