Answering your Tigers questions on a cold, blustery off-day in Chicago …
What the Tigers have with Daniel Norris right now is a clash between the long-term goal of building around young talent and the short-term need they've felt to add depth and potential trade pieces while covering innings. Realistically, this decision doesn't come down to sending down Norris on Sunday to start Mike Fiers. This decision was essentially made when the Tigers signed Francisco Liriano in Spring Training with the plan of stretching him out as a starter.
The Tigers have to figure out what they have in Norris by letting him get a good stretch of starts in Detroit at some point this season.
