All right, welcome aboard on a beautiful Monday afternoon. The band is fully together.

Jeremy Otto has a new haircut. All is right with the world.

All right. Great day for everyone unless your name is Spencer Torkelson, so we're just going to jump right in.

I'm not surprised by it. I'm also not going to overreact to it. I think I've just viewed him as a

guy that wasn't going to be a part of the core.

You know, I had high hopes pre-season

that spring training didn't matter.

And I'm like, all right, well, if he can provide the 30 home run power

and I'll work around it.

But quickly, I think we saw saw that wasn't the case and by late April it's like all right I'm kind of done now we're in June

When they're when they're pinch hitting Jake Rogers and not you and you're sitting, you know, next to the manager, the problem for Torque is the following.

And RICO, I think is spot on with his take, which we'll get to in a second. It's just simple.

If you're not hitting, you're useless because he's a abhorrent defensive player.

He's terrible. So you have no speed, no defense, no average, and no power. We're done here. I look at the bigger picture, which is the Tigers have selected number one twice in the last six seven years

a both of them stink. Torkelson stinks and for any of these mys defenders at best he's a number three in this league at best

he can't miss baseball bats as being very generous to oh but he's been out for two years yes exactly why he

stinks and I don't think he's going to magically become a swinging strike

guy. He doesn't have the stuff. And hell, this weekend he couldn't locate anything that wasn't a fastball.

But the point is the Torkelson thing, and do you believe it's the end?

And what does this really do for the rebuild?

I mean, Rico, your take, I don't think is wrong Mike and my take is simply this I came in and

ask David was I being too negative but is this the last time we're going to see Spencer
