Inbox: Is there an impact bat in the system?

DETROIT -- Opening the Tigers inbox as we wait for the World Series and the Hot Stove season that follows.

Finding impact hitters has been a concern for the Tigers since they began exploring trading veterans at this time two years ago. They've been hoping to trade for offense, and did add some hitting with Jeimer Candelario and Isaac Paredes, the club's No. 13 prospect, in the trade with the Cubs for Justin Wilson and Alex Avila. They had hoped a top hitter would emerge for them with the top pick in the Draft, but never found a bat to move them off of Casey Mize, though their second-round pick of Parker Meadows has the potential to be that guy.
