Of course. Hopefully nothing too serious. Hope to see both him and Perez get some time in AA this season.

Worth noting Pacheco has a .793 OPS in Lakeland, which is good for a 130 wRC+.

How many pitchers have had it and returned to form? I was under the impression it's pretty commonly a death knell for pitchers.

It sucks the Cubs also had to be cheap, otherwise we could have gotten the Quintana return for Verlander.

I mean, an ISO of .027 is still appallingly awful.

Might be because if it might be because he's set to start twice this week, so a shorter rest than normal before his next start.

Always remember the time Dmitri Young missed out on the cycle because he hit two triples.

I assume he'll be moved up Tuesday. May or may not play tomorrow before the off day.

Well, what exactly do we mean as serviceable? Is it a 3rd starter, or a BOR guy? Is it a 1.5-2 WAR, or a 2.5-3 WAR guy?

Yeah we didn't have him pitch the year he was drafted because Florida had an extended run the tournament. And he performed so well that it looked like he was a steal, probably would have been a top 10 pick if the draft was the CWS. Then as soon as he pitched for the Tigers his stuff was just not there. I remember Microcline making a comment on his weight after his first season in the minors on the Tigstown podcast.

That's not exactly right. He showed mid 90s fastball and had a dominant run in the CWS. His first year was not good, he was overweight, didn't have the sharp slider or velocity on his fastball.

Been on an absolute tear the last two weeks as well. Hitting .400/.440/.733 in 11 games in May. Gotta imagine he'll be promoted to Erie soon.

Way too early to say for the 2023 draft.

The first six picks will be determined by the lottery, but every non playoff team will be in the lottery. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/guide-to-the-new-cba-draft-lottery-expanded-playoffs-and-more/

It just means we only need to have the third worst record to have the best odds for the #1 pick!

I think the league wide numbers show it's true for a large majority of players. Did they use these balls during ST, and did teams know ahead of time that MLB was going to use the deadened ball?

Shohei Ohtani has a higher career OPS than any single player in our lineup has this season.

It's true for the guys you'd expect to be impact players. But for a guy who could be an OK big leaguer for a few years in his prime it's normal.

Good pitchers have a tendency to not get hit at any point in the game.

It was posted earlier in this thread he got hit by a pitch in one of their recent games, assume it's because of that.

He was also injured in 2013. Through August 26th (123 games) Cabrera was hitting .359/.450/.688 with 43 HRs and 130 RBIs. He reaggravated an abdominal injury that game. From then until the end of the season (25 games) he hit .284/.396/.333 with 1 HR and 7 RBI. And in the playoffs he only hit .262/.311/.405. He went from challenging for the greatest RHH season in MLB history to a replacement level player.

My bally sports app does something really cool where when I try to stream it on my TV through the fire stick it puts me on the national network and says Detroit isn't part of my TV package for some reason, so I can't watch Tigers games. When I use the same cable login on the same wifi on my laptop it lets me watch Detroit games though.

Robo umps can't come soon enough.

Is he the guy the Atlantic wrote a profile on during ST?
