Not much. He's shown improvement lately, but like I said above, it might not be enough anyway.
Cameron hasn't hit above AA, which Castro has. So, there's that.
Baddoo is the only long term MLB hope among the 3. We agree on that, right?
Those were good highlights. I don't know how that translates to making a roster, but that snippet seemed to show some passing ability and some instincts.
I was actually thinking the same thing watching him play RF on Fri/Sat. And I have not had a beer in a week. I don't know if its RF specifically or if he's just becoming more accustomed to playing OF in general. He may not be able to put it all together, but at least there seems to be something clicking lately.
I think this is more of an apt description. Success in basketball, more than any other sport (save for a hot goalie in a series), can be driven by a few players. Get 2 or 3 superstars to stay healthy and play with their heads in the goals for the team, surround them with decent role players, and that's likely a recipe for success.
He’s never faced MLB pitching before, so there is that obvious learning curve.
He’s probably never struggled like this on a baseball field before. That’s got to be a new experience for him that he’s simply got to figure out.
I would think if Torkleson is completely overmatched mentally, Hinch would have convinced the Tiger brass to send him down by now.
His career to date is less than inspiring, no argument. But I don’t mind taking a chance on him given his career his been in New York and he’s still plenty young. It’s a reasonable enough deal, if he doesn’t improve, it’s a dumpable contract.
