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.
1. James McCann
Many Tigers fans were hoping to see catcher James McCann break out a bit this season and so far it has been a tale of two McCanns. First, the good. McCann has proven that he has the potential to hit 20+ home runs in this league as he already has seven bombs on the season. Unfortunately, those seven home runs account for nearly half of his 15 total hits on the season. When looking deeper into why he is batting just .179 on the season, his .148 BABIP sheds some light. To be honest, despite the home run surge, McCann has been a bit unlucky and that should even out as the season goes on.

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.
