Fortunately he's batting .300, unfortunately his OBA is .300." <br> <br>This has GOT to be a concern for Tigers fans. What's the local take on Sanchez? Is he a suitable long term answer to the leadoff spot? What - if any - answers might there be in the farm system? <br>Peace, <br>Casey “Lead off hitter Alex Sanchez now has 42 plate appearances without a walk.

This has GOT to be a concern for Tigers fans. What’s the local take on Sanchez? Is he a suitable long term answer to the leadoff spot? What – if any – answers might there be in the farm system?

They have many better 1-2 options, like Guillen and Vina (or Munson who will start getting his walks). They seem enraptured with Sanchez because he can run. <br> <br>I must say I find some of the line-up choices of late disturbing. Inge is playing way too much and will now probably get to play CF w/Sanchez out. Norton has been awful and is platooning with Munson and/or Pena. Munson and Pena should both be in there against lefties. They are too early in their careers and have too much upside to be designated as platoon players. Munson especially has been sitting a lot. If they want to sit somebody then sit Higginson. <br> <br>I'd like to see them dump Sanchez but they don't have another option. Curtis Granderson is looking good but he's only at AA.

I’d like to see them dump Sanchez but they don’t have another option. Curtis Granderson is looking good but he’s only at AA.
