Believe it or not, we are already nearly to the first quarter point of the 2017 MLB season. Our Detroit Tigers continue to hover around the .500 mark, which we all know will not be enough to carry them into the playoffs.
Up to this point, some players on the team have exceeded all expectations. At the time of this article, Alex Avila is hitting .346 with four home runs, while Jim Adduci, a call-up who has impressed, is hitting .318 in the 13 games he has played.

Though guys like Avila and Adduci are playing above their capabilities so far, there are also a group of hitters who are yet to get going. Here is a list of three players who are about to catch fire for the Tigers.
3. Miguel Cabrera
At the time of this article, Miguel Cabrera is batting just .238 with four home runs. There is no question about it, Miggy has looked off so far this season. In fact, if you have watched him at the plate, you have probably seen him fooled more times this year that you would in an entire season as he is striking out nearly 25% of the time. But never fear, I have little doubt that Cabrera is about to break out in a big way. Do not be surprised at all to see his batting average sitting at around .300 one month from now.

We all hope you’re right about Miggy. I just hope he is not playing hurt with a groin tear that hasn’t healed, or some personal issue.
