I don't think Briceno has played in the last three or four games. Is he injured?

Hit and walk seems to be Max's day at the office.

And two stolen bases. I think he has 10 now.

I wonder if a good comparable for Max Clark would be Lenny Dykstra.

 So it's a similar semantics discussion as in the Wings forum. Fedorov was probably the absolutely most talented hockey player I ever watched, but he didn't achieve a career that matched the absolute abilities he possessed by a large margin. 

More talented than Datsyuk?

And 2 SB tonight as well. 

And two walks.

New baseball pet peeve: calling what they do in the dugout after a home run a "celly". I had never seen that word until this past weekend and now I've seen it half-dozen times since.

That word is all the rage in hockey.

Manning with a nice pickoff move here, unfortunate for Quero though 😬

 

 

That's how Keith hurt his shoulder. 

The art of pitching.

I mentioned it before but its crazy to me how the Tigers can never seem to find a prospect that projects to be a two way player. By two way player I mean atleast can hold his own at a position, not necessarily even being plus or anything. Outside of Greene every prospect we've had in the past say 15 years they've all seem to essentially be position less or destined to DH. 

 

Max Clark should be that kind of two way player.

The question now becomes for whom does Ingram get designated for assignment?

Never send to know for whom the bell tolls: it tolls for thee. 

Future prospect. 

Three home runs for Kreidler tonight, and six RBIs. Keith also had a home run.

Does anyone know what is causing Max Clark's troubles in Lakeland? Trouble hitting fastball, trouble hitting breaking ball, or what? Just puzzling that he was doing so well in rookie league, then so poorly in Low A league, while McGonigle took the higher level in stride. 

Clark didn't play today. McGonigle was 1-3 (a single), with 3 walks. 

In their latest update, Baseball America has Max Clark at number 15 overall, Colt Keith at 26. Langford at 13, Crews at 4. I think just yesterday they had Clark at 19, so he's moving up the list quickly. Walker Jenkins is at 16.

Edit: Oops, that was MLB.com's ranking.  Baseball America has Keith at 19, Clark at 21.

Baseball America, just updated to include this year's draft, has Bigbie at 19. Clark at 1.

For some reason, every time I see this picture of Jobe, it reminds me of this other guy. (Not Norm Cash. 🙂 )

WM W 4-2

Jung 1/2 2BB 2B 2SB
 

Jung steals bases? Cool.

Non issue on what happens if he doesn’t sign.  Sounds like the team and his agent agreed to pay him the #4 pick slot.

What is the money difference between the two slots?

Does Keith have a flu or something? Is it top secret information?

Not a member so I don't know the whole list but Id imagine/fear that he is our only guy in the top 100.

Flores was there preseason but with the way he has looked I can't imagine he still is and aside from him the only possibilities that come to mind are Madden or Dingler.

Yep, Keith is the only Tiger on the list.
