It's possible but that would mean we'd get more than one rep since I think E-Rod and Lange would both be our rep ahead of him. Right now I think you could make a strong case for those 3 and Greene for the ASG right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMarsh Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 The thing with McKinstry is that his peripherals don't suggest he is getting super lucky or anything, he is just walking alot which tends to stabilize quickly and is more predictive than other things so it's not unreasonable to think he can continue playing at or near this level for the remainder of the season. Hell if you look at his expected stats he's actually been a bit UNLUCKY thus far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 I guess the only danger is if pitchers just start throwing him more cookies and try to see if he can make enough hard contact to hurt them vs. trying to paint the edges cause it's clear at this point he has the eye to lay off borderline pitches.

I beginning to entertain a slight hope Schoop could yet get on track. He did smoke a ball off a RHP pitcher today. A Schoop that could hit at 3rd would solidify the IF in a big way.

You can make a case for Greene, but I think they wouldn't take him due to lack of power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s say the Tigers somehow or another keep very minimal distance to the top of an awful division “race”. Schoop finds himself enough to be helpful for what the Tigers need, but there are no offers for him at the trade deadline. The combination of events probably isn’t likely. But here we are at Memorial Day within a series of .500. Who would’ve thought that likely? If your hand is up, you’re lying. Now, my inclination would still be for the future rather than 2023. But if there’s nothing compelling offered for Schoop, why not fancy a chance now? Or do you just take the best offer available regardless? I could see either side of it, but it’s a real sideways squint and without glasses on to envision such a scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will also be additional context, primarily does anyone else emerge as a strong enough IF candidate that you actually want him to take whatever ABs Schoop is still getting.

Jim Cowan Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Remember that big haul that they got for Grossman, after showcasing his carcass every night for a month? The return for Schoop will be less than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I bet nobody would’ve guessed the similarity unless they saw the numerals. I was certainly surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
