A question is asked. The answer, in terms of a definitive forecast, is – today – impossible.
It has to do with Derek Hill.
As he wraps up another half-season of work at Single A West Michigan, does Hill’s bat show enough potential, even at this point at which a player can’t fairly be judged, to offer the Tigers a prayer he’ll someday play in the big leagues?
This is where you sense hesitancy, even as Hill, 21, and a Tigers first-round draft pick in 2014, has had a more upbeat August at Single A West Michigan.
