It doesn't really fit with McGonigle though.

McGONEigle!

He didn't hit for a high batting average other than the one big year, so he wasn't recognized as a top hitter. I think he would have been valued more in today's game.

If the Tigers are going to be the kind of organization that is not willing to sign a couple of good players, then it's going to be really depressing to be a fan. I'd rather not think about that.

I was just looking back at the Nashua Rosters. They had an AA team from 1983-1986. I saw future major leaguers like Devon White and Bobby Bonilla, but the guy I remember the most was Reggieeeee WEST! He had a good season for them, but never made it to the majors. I also remember Biiiiiiiip Roberts. The cool thing about Holman Stadium is that it was the home of the first racially intregrated team of the 20th century. Their roster included Roy Campanella and Don Newcombe. They later had some independent teams (which is when I saw the Cansecos), but could not support a modern affiliated team.

I loved when Nashua had a AA team (first the Angels and then the Pirates) and I went frequently. So, I wouldn't be surprised if we were at one of the same games. Those were some of my best ballpark experieces ever. It was before minor league games were popular, so the crowds were not large and it was all baseball. A minor league game was not a circus with non-stop music and sounds and all the silliness between innings. Some of that stuff is fun but they over do it.

My favorite is Ed Irwin, but I'll let Boom tell the story.

That's why they call him max.

Good stuff, no command. Could be a reliever some day. Got to have a couple of them.

If you don't like Carson Rucker, you don't like ice cream.

The Tigers are back on the Wilsons again.

I don't like the idea that we aren't supposed to criticize anything that teams do because they know more than us. However, I think the gap in knowledge is much larger when it comes to amateur players. All most of us have to go off of is second hand scouting reports and an few video clips. Once players have been around for a while, I think the gap narrows somewhat.

I knew a kid named Titsworth in school. As you can imagine that kid never heard the end of it. "Hey Jim, How much are you tits worth?"

They have spiced it up a lot over the years. You can only do so much with the baseball draft though because it takes so long for even the best ones to make the majors. It will never have the immediate impact of the NFL, NBA drafts.

Yes, I saw a long clip of him interacting with fans, teammates and coaches and they all seemed to get along.

yeah, he looks like a douche, LOL

I was expecting and hoping for Langford, but I really don't know enough about these guys to complain. I wanted a position player who has big offensive potential and Max Clark is that even if he is far away. Scouting report: Looks like a douche with the exaggerated eye black but has a great baseball name!

Is Max Clark the new Jackson Jobe?

I am happy the Tigers are getting a hitter. Either Langford or Crews is fine with me.

LOL, Manfred gets booed every time.

Crews going straight to the majors on Friday.

Marisnick designated for assignment. Wingenter activated. They will need to drop a pitcher and then probably add an infielder Edit: Oops, they optioned Wingenter to Toledo

yeah, I thought it was a good weekend. Those are the four most important players on the roster in terms of their future.

Kyle Teel (just for the Twitter reaction)!

yeah, It would have been insane to let him go any longer. Here is a young pitcher working his way back after an injury and they wanted to see him stay in there to throw 120 pitches so he could get a no hitter?
