Scott Harris is all in on Spencer Torkelson

Spencer Torkelson’s name came up at the GM Meetings, and Harris said the team is “still bullish” on Tork.

Scott Harris said the Tigers remain bullish on Spencer Torkelson.

Could they bring in a contingency plan?

"We don't view (first base) as a position of long-term need for us. But this winter, at that position and every other position, we’re going to look for ways to get better."

Tork gets a nice vote of confidence from the new boss. It makes sense not to completely give up on a former No.1 overall pick after one lackluster season. But what if he flops again next year? It wouldn’t hurt to sign someone on a minor-league deal (let’s say a Jake Lamb or a Yoshi Tsutsugo) just in case he still hasn’t figured it out.

So we can scratch one position off Scott Harris’ to-do list. Hopefully it doesn’t come back to bite him.
