Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson look bound for the Opening Day roster

Through the Detroit Tigers’ first nine games of Grapefruit League play, and with the regular season less than two weeks away, it’s difficult to make a compelling argument that top prospects Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson shouldn’t go north with the team. While spring training numbers don’t matter, the two already looked prepared to test themselves at the major league level late last season. Their performance this spring has only strengthened that opinion.

On Saturday against the Philadelphia Phillies, we saw more examples illustrating that the dynamic duo are already among the Tigers’ best hitters.
