Tigermojo Posted May 12 Posted May 12 10 minutes ago, gehringer_2 said: The other question is does he come back before he plays 3B? If so, he's probably off the table for 3B with the Tigers as well for any immediate future. Maybe a reason they want to give Jung the longest look they can stand despite the lack of any sign of life in the bat. "Vierling is scheduled to play right field for Toledo on May 11, ahead of the Mud Hens' off day on May 12. He will play back-to-back outfield games on May 13-14, including center field, then he is expected to play one more game at designated hitter around May 15. From there, Vierling will split time between third base and outfield, possibly from May 16-18, to mirror the multi-positional role he fills with the Tigers." https://www.freep.com/story/sports/mlb/tigers/2025/05/11/matt-vierling-injury-update-detroit-tigers/83569705007/ 2 1 Quote

Offer him up as a 2B of the future to a rebuilding team for pitching depth. If we’re grooming him for a trade, then we’d better send him down so he can start raking and up his trade value. 1 Quote

It sounds like they were wanting to use the full 20 days alloted when the assignment started last week. I don't think an activation is imminent until we have consecutive full games in the field. I could be wrong. It’s a lot easier to give Vierling the whole 20 games while we are winning games without him. Quote

papalawrence Posted May 14 Posted May 14 Thayron has been in a deep slump. Good to see him connect on one. Hopefully a sign of a positive stretch coming up Quote

MCS commented in the game thread about Baltimore's rebuild flaming out. That's the advice they didn't take. The one thing I worry about with Harris is that he may not as draft centric enough for pitchers. Edited May 14 by gehringer_2 Quote

romad1 Posted May 14 Posted May 14 Hearing from various pods that Sawyer Gipson-Long is considered a potential "weapon" as a SP by the Tigers org in a way that is Reese Olson-like. I'm all for that. You won't see me naysay having that. Quote

I'm all for that. You won't see me naysay having that. I was at 5th 3rd the night he threw 12K in 6 IP. You never know how much of that will translate against MLB hitters, but they definitely want to find out. Edited May 14 by gehringer_2 Quote

Edman85 Posted May 14 Posted May 14 Funny I was just going through last year's draft and realized that Hill, Massey, and Swanson are all hurt, thinking I wish they used those picks on a less risky position type. 1 1 Quote
