Arlington Posted May 23 Posted May 23 Wonder if the Tigers are approaching a record for overall win percentage for an organization. Quote
RandyMarsh Posted May 24 Posted May 24 Rainer just homered off a 97mph fastball from a lefty. Great sign! 3 Quote

papalawrence Posted May 25 Posted May 25 Ranier's ceiling might be the highest of all their prospects Quote

Tenacious D Posted May 25 Posted May 25 If Rainer could finish the season with West Michigan, that would be awesome. Same with Clark and McGonigle in Erie. Quote

As I sit with a keeper roster with Abrams, Wilson, and Neto and can't find anybody to pay up for one of them, I am wondering if shortstop is still the scarce position we think it is... Quote

There’s a wide variety of productive shortstops nowadays. 25 years ago when I was into fantasy it was A-Rod/Nomar/Tejada/Jeter or bust. Maybe you’d catch a couple good years out of a Rich Aurilia or Edgar Renteria….but beyond that you were fielding a SS in fantasy just because you had to, not because they added value Edited May 25 by monkeytargets39 Quote
SoCalTiger Posted May 26 Posted May 26 Third Base is the hardest to fill now or so it seems. Maybe just in Detroit. Quote
gehringer_2 Posted May 26 Author Posted May 26 Whitecaps went into the bottom of the 9th down 2-1. McGonigle got it started with a one hopper over the wall. A walk and infield single later, Pacheco finished it with a walk off GS. Quote
gehringer_2 Posted May 26 Author Posted May 26 Parker added a single to his HR for the evening, but looks like he had no plays in CF. Quote

RandyMarsh Posted May 26 Posted May 26 I want to see Pacheco at Erie before I get too excited about him cause I believe this is his 3rd straight year at WM. When you are on your 3rd year at the same level I would hope you start hitting there. Quote

When you are on your 3rd year at the same level I would hope you start hitting there. actually he finished 2022 there, so parts of 4 seasons at WMI, almost 1,000 plate appearances for White Caps. maybe he's finally healthy or something just clicked, but the last month is the anomaly Quote
Tenacious D Posted May 27 Posted May 27 (edited) Pacheco is only 22. Not unusual for minor leaguers to develop on slower timelines. Parker Meadows spent a considerable amount of time in West Michigan. He still K’s too much, which might catch up to him as he advances, but he was also a highly regarded 2nd rounder out of high school. Also, like Meadows. Edited May 27 by Tenacious D 1 Quote
LongLiveMaroth Posted May 27 Posted May 27 Pacheco is an interesting case; he has consistently run a high BABIP throughout the minors. Not counting the 18-game stint when he was a 19-year-old in WM, he has only been below a .300 BABIP once. He is currently sitting at a .403 unsustainable BABIP. That being said, he walks almost 15% of the time, and his K rate is 27%. I should also note that while Pacheco has been there quite some time he is still technically below the average age for the Midwest League. I would love to see him hold this over for the first half of the year and then push him up to AA. Quote
LongLiveMaroth Posted May 27 Posted May 27 FCL W 12-2 Warwick 0/3 BB K Osorio 2/4 2RBI BB HR Jimenez 1/4 BB K Quote
Shinzaki Posted May 27 Posted May 27 Pacheco's SLG% is up considerably this year...he was said to have plus power when he was drafted, could it be finally translating into game action. Osorio is an interesting SS prospect...signed for $2.2 million a few years ago. Quote
Stanley70 Posted May 27 Posted May 27 i go to a few WM games every year and i thought that Parker Meadows was a guarenteed bust. To see him progress to where he is now gives me hope that the new organization is just better at developing hitters than the previous one. 1 Quote
