They have only scored eight runs against 35 runs surrendered (yikes), but it is still way too early to show any concern.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Eventually, the offense will get going, and when it does, we can expect at least one player to stand out above the rest. Which leads us to today\u2019s question: \u201cWho will be the best hitter in Detroit this summer?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">There are a few obvious options like Riley Greene or even rookie Kevin McGonigle and his 80-grade hitting skill. Javier Baez could have another resurgence that lasts all summer; maybe Spencer Torkelson finally puts it all together. Or perhaps someone unexpected rises to the occasion?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">So Tigers fans, who do you think will lead the hit parade for the Olde English D this season?
