I'm gonna eat a little crow here....Max has looked like the hitter he was touted to be so far this year. He is getting the ball up off the ground and has less swing and miss. His eye seems to be improving as well. Defense seems to be improved from last year...maybe better reads?  I also like that he is stealing more and successfully.

It is a small sample size, but I think he has just matured as a player since last fall.

 

He seems to be a hard worker, so it's good to see it paying off.

How’d he score a run if he didn’t get on base?

Slight hole in the baseball terminology. You can reach base in ways that don't count toward an 'on-base' streak - in this case he reached by fielder's choice, which means from a batting standpoint, he made an out. But runs scored count to your credit regardless of whether you were on base because you were 'on base' or not. 🤔

Have you not leaned anything from Adduci?

Rainer seems off to a very slow start.

It's just WAY TOO early for me to worry about how guys are doing in the minors this year...

AAA has only played 15 games so far and all our other teams barely half that...

If a guy starts out hot... great.

If a guy is starting slow... I'll just wait until we are in at least the 25-40 game range before I try getting a decent read on a guy.

Just for example: The highest OPS by a Tigers minor leaguer right now is...

Gage Workman. 1.090 OPS at Toledo.

Yeah... I don't think that one will last all season long...
