holygoat Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Too many guaranteed outs in this lineup. At a minimum, Tork needs to be in Toledo, because he's worthless right now. Hinch not sending him down to protect his confidence doesn't seem to be helping his confidence. Finding his swing and raking at AAA just might. This is a game they absolutely should've won but their offense sucks so bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My IDK was partially lazy- not looking at NY's line up and partially worrying if Foley woud walk someone given his trouble lately. He seems to have control though so I probably would have loaded the bases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1776 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 So we’ll see if Harris is going to continue to be hands off I guess. Hate letting these chances get away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team's confidence is the bigger consideration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their entire offseason posture was about developing these guys in the majors. There's a reason Harris undersold all optimism. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sports_Freak Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 #1 picks get many chances. A 1-1 pick gets even longer to prove himself. Tork is a victim of his draft position and so are us fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm leaning towards the opinion that the org is hesitant to send him down, because if he sucks in Toledo as well, then it's pretty much over for Tork and this org...I mean, if he cant hit there, then he's a bricked 1OA pick contract.

It's almost like they've decided if he's bricked, it may as well be in the bigs, but thats not really good for the team as whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fail to see how allowing him to continue to fail at this level helps build his confidence for the present or the future, and letting him figure it out in a low leverage atmosphere just might salvage his value going forward. The Detroit Tigers will still be here when he's found his game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
