What no, Turnbull ready to continue where he left off?

Interesting list that Skubal and G.Hill are in.

Another day, another list this time we have 4 in the top 100 albeit in the later half. https://www.baseballprospectus.com/prospects/article/79861/2023-prospects-the-top-101/

Baseball America came out with a new 100 list. Only 1 Tiger made it. Jobe at 83.

Ah they do that for any free agents they put them on their former team that way people will know their projections I guess.

Not sure if this has already been posted but Fangraphs has their ZiPS projection up. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2023-zips-projections-detroit-tigers/

So the Mets have something like 4 catchers that they are going to have to juggle if the season started tomorrow. If you were Harris would you reach out about McCann and see if you could get them to throw in a mid-level prospect to get that deal off of their books? I don't know that Cohen cares but he is owed something $24 million over the next two years.

Oh I absolutely agree, I highly doubt its a burner account but that is an interesting thing to think about given the agencies involved so far.

Just a quick look it looks like they represent Goldschmidt, Schwarber, Kyle Tucker, Dansby Swanson, Springer as a few. Not sure if there are any FA that they represent that are out there now though.

I saw this the other day and it certainly makes you wonder how much of it is true given what a lot of people feel are overpays.

Meadows and Dingler were in yesterdays AFL game. Meadows went 1-6 with a 2B and 2K and Dingler went 2-3 with 2BB and 2 RBI.

Meadows takes #44 overall according to Pipeline prospect Priester deep.

AFL starts today; Keith, Workman and Meadows in the lineup; that being said this team looks stacked with Lawler, Walker, Veen and others.

Analytics you say?

Reading through that it certainly seems he has embraced the data and honestly seems like he knows what he is talking about. Obviously that doesn't mean he will for sure be successful but it certainly doesn't hurt.

Since the big club has no chance of making it to the playoffs it is fun to watch Erie go for it. They won last night 5-3 in 11 innings. Meadows went 3/4 with a 2B, 2 RBI, BB and K while it looks like they used Alvarado as an opener with Hurter following with 4.2 IP and 6K. Serretti went 1/3 with a BB and K and Workman with a 1/5 4K night. The night though belonged to Josh Crouch who hit his first AA homerun in the top of the 11th with one on to put the Wolves up 5-2. In the 48 AB this September Meadows is hitting an unsustainable .396/.453/.563 good for a 1.016 OPS. Good to see him show up during this playoff run and to build on his August performance.

Serretti and Crouch in AA for the final regular season week.

I would agree and it does say that the decision had not been made yet on it just that they are thinking about it. Personally I would hope Wentz does not go.

According to Henning; Keith, Workman, Meadows possibly Dingler/Crouch (depends on injury?) Pitchers is Matt Walker, Jack Anderson, Tyler Mattison, Possibly Joey Wentz.

Toledo W 5-2 - Garcia with a solid 6IP 6K outing while giving up 2ER set the tone for the game, Lipcius continues to feast on AAA pitching with a 2/3 2B BB performance bringing his BA to .320 with a .919 OPS over 29 games. Erie W 9-2 - Erie went with the death by a thousand cuts route notching only one XBH a double by Workman his 29th. Meadows went 2/4 with 2RBI and a SB. Workman went 1/3 with a K and a BB to go along with the double. Newcomer Garcia went 0/2 with 2 BB and a K. As shown above Olson went 5IP 2 non-earned runs and 6K bringing his season ERA to 4.15 WM W 7-6 - WM tried to give this one away but were able to hang on for the win. Jung goes 0/4 with 2K's and Pacheco tries to match him but sneaks in a BB to go 0/3 with 2 K's. Crouch goes 3/4 with an RBI. Serretti goes 1/3 with a BB and 2B and had 2 runs and a SB. 2022 draftee Trevin Michael with an ugly 2/3 IP 4ER line. Lakeland L 7-3 - The only loss in the org last night. Graham goes 1/3 but is pulled in the 8th for Luke Gold (Not sure why). Nothing really of note here Santana and Dom "Don't Call me Don" Johnson hit sac flys.

TOL L 10-6 Bergner with a non-great line of 3IP 5ER to bring his AAA ERA to 7.20 with Lipcius going 0/4 with 2K. Daz "Don't call me Mike" Cameron with a 2/4 with a HR night. Erie L 2-1 /10 Lost in extras no offense though I believe they remain in first. Looks like they went the opener route with Moreno pitching first then Hurter with a much better outing of 4 IP 7K and an unearned run. Meadows went 1/3 with a BB and a K. Workman with the designated 2K's but went 1/5 with a double and the lone RBI. WM L 3-0 Shut out only getting 3 hits. Not much to talk about here Crouch and Serretti each had a hit. Jung had a BB. He has played in 27 games and walked 24 times and struck out 26. Lakeland W 7-0 It wasn't a complete loss on the farm tonight. Graham hits his first professional HR while going 2/4 with 3 RBI's. Not to be outdone Santana went 2/4 with a HR and 2B. Melton went 3IP with 1K. Dom Johnson seems to be finding his groove after some poor results in rookie ball he was also 1/3 with a BB and two SB. This swing from Santana is a thing of beauty though.

Dingler to the IL
