Cruzer1 Posted Monday at 06:10 AM Posted Monday at 06:10 AM I was in a rabbit hole tonight, looking for useful relievers in the Tigers system. I ran across Drew Sommers in Toledo, who's a lefty with really nice numbers, and I forgot that he was acquired by the Tigers in the Mason Englert deal.

RatkoVarda Posted Monday at 02:31 PM Posted Monday at 02:31 PM Lee has spent all of his his age 22 season at AAA. that's another great data point, if "age at level" is important to you. Max Anderson has spent all of his age 23 season at AA, which is just fine as well. 1 Quote

Rainer is an advanced hitting shortstop with a plus power-hitting peak Quote
romad1 Posted Monday at 06:33 PM Posted Monday at 06:33 PM MLB has this link https://www.mlb.com/tigers/news/top-prospect-performers-for-july-27-2025 It says "Top Prospect Mcgonigle doubles up on two-bagger at Double-A" I won't say why that's pornographic but use your imaginations. Quote

LongLiveMaroth Posted Monday at 07:10 PM Posted Monday at 07:10 PM (edited) Some interesting things I was looking up about a couple of prospects I have been keeping tabs on. Pacheco must hate even months. April .212/.366/.364 May .337/.440/.627 June .227/.370/.394 July .341/.492/.545 He also hates playing at home .255/.390/.404 vs .311/.442/.576 Away Liranzo has increased his BA each month, all while having only 9 AB's against pitchers younger than him. April .180/.315/.344 May .231/.359/.423 June .242/.377/.435 July .288/.360/.424 Edited Monday at 07:10 PM by LongLiveMaroth 2 1 Quote

Similar to Dingler's adjustments to new leagues. 1 Quote

Has he found his batting stroke, like Meadows... after struggling just barely over the Mendoza for his career so far...? Enquiring minds want to know. Quote

Edman85 Posted Tuesday at 04:13 PM Posted Tuesday at 04:13 PM There's some highlights, including a McGonigle double from the Moon Mammoths game at the end of Last Week Tonight this week. Quote
Cruzer1 Posted Tuesday at 09:13 PM Posted Tuesday at 09:13 PM Pre-Deadline Top 100 Prospects Update | FanGraphs Baseball Quote McGonigle’s BP at the Futures Game was opinion-altering. He has real juice in his hands, and he’s going to get to his power in games not only because he’s a skillful hitter, but because his swing is geared for launch. His arm isn’t a fit at shortstop. You could argue he should be the lone 65 FV prospect given the state of second base at the big league level right now, which aside from Ketel Marte and Jazz Chisholm Jr., is really light on power hitters. McGonigle is #1, Clark #9, Briceno #32, Liranzo #34, Melton #70. No mention of Rainer. Quote

No mention of Rainer. I don't know about McGonigle in particular, but I have to wonder if often scouts aren't too quick to dismiss guys at SS because they don't have 95mph. Total time from ground ball to 1st baseman's mitt is more than just throw velo and it's exactly the kind of thing that teams have the metrics to get a better handle on than they used to. Quote

The K/BB rates are night and day At least right now it looks like Liranzo is sticking behind the plate. That would be my guess on why he’s rated higher. Quote
