As the offseason gets underway, there’s rightly a lot of talk about building up the pitching staff, as well as the crucial mission of finding some right-handed thump for the lineup. The catcher situation isn’t foremost in anyone’s mind, but the Detroit Tigers options at that key position are probably getting plenty of thought from Scott Harris and his front office group.
Jake Rogers is pretty well established as the starting catcher. While we may not love his offensive output, few things are perfect in this game. AJ Hinch and Chris Fetter are very particular about who catches for their pitching staff, and Rogers has rightly earned their trust.
