Atlanta – It’s one of those elephant-in-the-room things. Everybody knows it’s there, but nobody wants to talk about it all that much.
For so many players on this Tigers roster, this 2019 season is a showcase. It’s probably their best chance to show the organization they belong here through the full rebuild, that they are more than just disposable parts holding places until the prospects get fully groomed and ready.
Go down the list: Jeimer Candelario, Ronny Rodriguez, Brandon Dixon, Grayson Greiner, JaCoby Jones, Niko Goodrum, Daniel Norris, Spencer Turnbull, Ryan Carpenter and just about every reliever with the possible exceptions of Joe Jimenez and Shane Greene.
