I'm gonna eat a little crow here....Max has looked like the hitter he was touted to be so far this year. He is getting the ball up off the ground and has less swing and miss. His eye seems to be improving as well. Defense seems to be improved from last year...maybe better reads? I also like that he is stealing more and successfully. It is a small sample size, but I think he has just matured as a player since last fall.

Oh my! I thought the experts said he couldn't play SS, lol

We'll see in a few years...I hope I am wrong as I am a homer for home grown kids for the Tigers

I get the walks and the plus speed, but I am not seeing the hit tool....like I said...a lot of soft ground outs and a lot of swing and miss. I watched a lot of his ABs last year on MiLB TV and again this spring. I didn't see any change so far this year after all the work over the winter. A high walk rate, high K rate with some SB and a few HRs with a low BA does not make a fantastic player. I am not a prospect hound or an evaluator, so I am most likely missing something. I am just stating what I am seeing doesn't match what I am reading.

After watching M Clark last year and so far this year (ST and 1 AAA game)....I don't see the hype. I couldn't care less about the gold chain and his social media, but I see a lot of K's and weak ground balls. What am I missing?

Couldn’t get it off last night, now it July

4 years and 240 million? Great for baseball they say 😞

Manning dealt to Phillies for Josueth Quinonez 18 year old in DSL

Dang....Luke Gold subbed for Briceno

Wow!!! Another BOMB... Deep right center...3rd HR

And just had a double of the top of the wall in right center

Oh...all these years, I did not know that was a thing, lol....Ive been watching and playing) baseball for 40 some years

I had the sound down....WTF was the McKinstry deal?

Fear mongering …..not gonna happen

Or 1 made of wood?

One of my favorites in 2025 Topps so far:)

Lions are now literally limping into the playoffs. The way it’s going they may not even have appendages to limp on soon.

This is where I’m thinking he goes…..he’ll be a little better than serviceable at 2b defensively and a moderate power threat with an average average. This is my worse case scenario. The Kent mention above is what we hope for. i am hoping Mark chimes in since his usual wet blanket outlook is usually correct, lol.

How good will he be? Kaline? Fryman?, Higginson?, Maybin?, Torkelson?, Baddoo? or ???

I think Reese will be the bulk reliever in this one…comes in after 2 innings of Holton…and hopefully gives the team 5 fantastic innings

Unfortunate time for the Tigers to play in Atlanta....Myself and my son were at all 3 games. All 3 games the players looked lifeless on the field and in the dugout. They have all packed it in as well as Hinch. The way he is managing the playing time is absurd. The Braves looked like a MLB team playing a college team.

dWAR is a joke...it's a lot like judging figure skating in the Olympics.

It was so bad on the Tigers broadcast that I had to watch 75%of the game on the Astros broadcast....I'll be doing that most of the year I guess.

Maybin is who I meant. I don't remember AA being this bad.

Nope...he talks way too much for radio. No play by play because of the constant chatter
