    Any team carrying Schoop doesn't really have a 40 man problem.

    Parker on base twice again today, 2B, BB. 15 game hitting streak. But 0 for 2 against Dallas Kuechel, who started for St.Paul.

    Frankline debuted with Lakeland today. Not too auspicious. Walk, single, HBP, ground out, walk.
  4. gehringer_2
    But at least he has a record as a decent fielder. Tigers have been giving away too many outs at 3rd all season no matter who has been there.
  5. gehringer_2
    I know he's not doing much with the bat right now anyway, but has the idea of Malloy as the 3b of the future already foundered on the inadequacy of his glove? Does this team have anyone anywhere in the organization that knows how to scout the glove of a 3B candidate?
  6. gehringer_2
    At least with Raburn you could see the flashes of high level play - there was a tease that if he just tamed the inconsistency (yeah you can call them brain freezes) with both the bat and the glove, there might have been a player in there. Maton may still some unexplored upside to his bat, but he hasn't given us a shred of evidence whatever he can be a competent 3B.

    And that alone was a good reason that Hinch should have taken him out of the game at the end of the inning. It's bad enough to screw up, if you are wallowing in it on the field, you are just setting yourself up to do it again, and sure enough....

    At Torkelson's age I can accept talk about a player haveing a good process that you believe is going to produce results. Nick Maton had nearly 1700 PA in the minors and never generated much of anything. Assuming a normal drop in OPS facing major league pitching, the odds of him turning into a valuable MLB regular were never much to begin with.

    The self-inflicted loses are so much harder to take.
  10. gehringer_2
    Not surprised. Not unusual for Hinch to go stubborn.
  11. gehringer_2
    heck - Short can play a passable OF so McKinstry can play 3B.
  12. gehringer_2
    Correa sitting on that curve ball. Tigers got some major BaBIP luck there.
  13. gehringer_2
    Lange's FB on furlough
  14. gehringer_2
    yeah - that too. sadly the candidate at Toledo currently, Lipcius, doesn't look like he can handle 3B either.
  15. gehringer_2
    Or McKinstry. He doesn't have the greatest glove either but at least his arm is relatively reliable.
  16. gehringer_2
    the thing is, he neither throws well nor fields well, can't catch anything to his right at all. You might at well be playing Torkelson there as Maton. What is the point of beating the dead horse? Even if he starts to hit you don't want him at 3B. Guys don't often turn into better fielders at 27
  17. gehringer_2
    and Maton deliver's the inevitable error under pressure. I'm done with him.
  18. gehringer_2
    Bringing Short into the game is a the perfect opportunity to upgrade the D in the late innings, but Maton still at 3rd trying to lose the game.
  19. gehringer_2
    Tigers don't make the Twins pay for bad baserunning and it cost them a run.
  20. gehringer_2
    Absolutely. It's true that guys that can't handle the velocity side reasonably well normally won't get past AA, so we don't see them. Though a few do get all the way to the majors before finally being exposed - e.g. Christin Stewart.
  21. gehringer_2
    BTW - something Yzerman has a lot of 1st person experience with.
  22. gehringer_2
    another 2 hits for P Meadows tonight. 916 OPS for June, but still can't get the K rate under 30%. That's his last hurdle, but too many guys founder on it.
  23. gehringer_2
    Holton and Englert better be sharp tomorrow.
  24. gehringer_2
    2nd time in two nights Cabrera tried to sneak it past a fielder waiting for him up the middle with men on base. Got to try to do a little more than that Miguel.
  25. gehringer_2
    The road out of the Majors is littered with guys who could hit the FB and never adjusted to breaking balls .
