Yes that’s the title. You may be asking why, your answer is simple. HE’S ELITE. What can’t the kid do. For gosh sake he won the first al rookie of the month of the season and he was probably in consideration for player of the month with the stats that I will list here in a second
Kevin Mcgonigle’s Stats so far. And in () where he ranks within the American League

- WAR: 2.2 (4th)

Mcgonigle’s one real Knack on his way through the minors was could he stick on the left side of the infield and now we are really going too see with Jay Baez on the IL Zach Mckinstry just coming off the IL and there not really being any other option to play short. It’s time for the KID because he is ONLY 21 to prove the doubters wrong that he can be the future at short for the tigers. It’s clear that AJ Hinch and the front office believe he can or else they wouldn’t have given him the long term extension.
