That was my first thought as well. But with the three homers tonight, he now has 12 for the year between AAA and the big leagues. That's an improvement over what we are getting, which is low obp and low power.
-
He wasn't. But Candelario was the biggest reason for that. Now all the sudden Candelario looks completely lost. There is some bad luck involved there too.
-
I know Greene beat the shift last night with a hit. Boston was not shifting there. He's pulled two tonight already.
-
Not sure if there is a hitter in baseball that scares me more than Devers. Great play by Greene.
-
Agree about the skyline. I think it's one of the best in baseball. Even with the parking garage that detracts from it a bit IMO. The conversation about the sun detracting from the stadium is definitely relevant. I only go to one game a year but it is usually a day game and we always are careful about where we buy tickets.
-
Rich Hill looks bad. Any decent lineup would be putting a lot more pressure on him.
-
Yeah...that first inning was not as bad as the pitch count would you lead you to believe.
-
Candelario at bats are just as poor as they were before the injury. I'm really getting concerned that any promise he showed in 2020 and 2021 is not going to show itself again.
-
It felt like a much better inning that what Faedo pitched yesterday. Some bad luck and really good hitting by Boston.

Interesting article on ESPN about top pitching prospect shutting it down before the draft to protect their arms. It's insider only though. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/34084142/how-one-pitching-prospect-change-mlb-draft-forever-not-pitching My main takeaway from this is just anger at the Tiger's organization for using top 10 picks on pitching prospects three times since 2016.

Seems like it would be Chet or Banchero that falls if it happens. It seems like this board, myself included, has kind of moved on from the 3 big guys. It would be an interesting dilemma for sure.
-
Seems like this board has really come around on Murray the last 3 weeks.
-
I think Murray is considerably more versatile on offense than Bey. But I do agree with your point about needing athleticism. And I don't know how you get that in the lineup with Bey, Cade, and Murray as your wings. At least Grant gives you some of that. At the same time, Murray, Cade and Bey would be an electric combination on offense. So I don't know. Maybe you draft Murray and then try to find your own version of Marcus Smart.
-
If you draft Murray, I think that means the writing is on the wall that Grant isn't going to be here in two years. I am okay either way. I like Murray the more I learn about him but I also like Grant. Grant doesn't have near Murray's upside on offense but he is probably always going to be a considerably better defensive player.
-
I thought Grant played less hero ball when he came back from his injury and it was clearly Cade's team. I was done with him to that point but it was encouraging to see him defer and play the role he played in Denver.
-
Good call. Definitely a guy worth monitoring closer now. I also think you can make a case that strong obp guys are becoming more valuable with home runs down.
-
I would throw Kreidler in there too even though he got injured so the sample size is smaller.
-
I thought we might have one top 100 prospect once Tork and Greene graduated. Now, depending on how the season plays out, I think it is likely we do better that. I would say Wilmer is more likely than not to end up top 100, possibly even top 50. And then there are a number of guys with a chance to sneak in there. Wenceel, in particular, could shoot up prospect lists if he gets moved up a level and continues his strong season at AA. It would be nice if Dingler could get it going considering he is generally considered one of our higher upside prospects.
-
His recruiting profile lists him at 6'4. Pretty impressive growth spurt. I'm intrigued because part of the reason I like Ivy is for his defensive profile. Sounds like you get something similar with Daniels.
-
I don't how anybody can make a judgement on these pro day workouts. Seems like they are all going to look great. I would put much more stock into measurables and game action.
-
The Tigers have the market cornered on organization depth outfielders. Cameron, Baddoo, Castro, Haase, Reyes...probably a few more I am missing.
-
Time to push him and move him up. There are few things that have gone right for this organization this year but he is one of them. But need to see it at the next level before getting more excited.
-
Yeah...I do think we are missing out on some of his value because we are so bad. Things like base running and defense are valued more on good teams. Home runs stand out whether your team is good or bad. As far as the bat goes, ideally he would be hitting 6 or 7 because the obp is so bad. Not that it really matters on this team.
-
Looking around the internet, here is how the 4 wings being discussed are ranked: ESPN: Ivey, Murray, Sharpe, Mathurin Sam Vecenie: Ivey, Murray, Mathurin, Sharpe Bleacher Report: Ivey, Sharpe, Murray, Mathurin NBAdraft.net: Ivey, Mathurin, Murray, Sharpe This is going to be an interesting 5 weeks to say the least. And somebody further down the list we are not talking about is going to jump up and be in the conversation also.
-
Can Grant be extended as part of the trade? I would think that would have to be a given. I question whether Weaver would make this trade as much as Portland. He loves Grant and may prefer to keep him long term.
