Portion on Jung: Trammell has been among a bigger and broader Tigers coaching crew toiling to turn Jung into a two-way asset. The apprenticeship is paying off.
“He’s all in,” Trammell said of Jung. “He’s all business. He wants to be a big-leaguer. He’s a good baseball player, and credit him for switching from second base to make us a better club.
“We’ll see how that works out, but all the credit goes to JJ to be willing to go over there.”
Portion of the Briceno comments (may have been a Miggy comp): Couple his age (19) with his left-handed bat and the Tigers knew even last year they might have something extraordinary evolving in Josue (pronounced: Ho-SWAY) Briceno.
It’s a young Venezuelan’s bat that had Trammell buzzing Saturday, especially after he had seen Briceno rip a 111.7-mph double to right field.
