I think Ranier is more often touted for that. But everything I've read about Peck over the last couple years has said great glove but can the bat hold up. 7 HRs is a least a good start at proving it can. Quote
Edman85 Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Trei Cruz starting his rehab today. Might be too late because the last few weeks and the next couple would have been a prime spot for him. Quote

Rainer's gonna have to learn to strike out less if he wants to be the future SS... Dude's got 59 Ks already this year... he's near a .440 K%. I know he's young and I know he's recovering from injury last season, but last year he had 33 Ks in 145 PA before getting hurt. He's very nearly doubled his Ks in only 134 PAs so far this year. Quote

Yes 44% is crazy but 30% is ok with me if he slug 50 %. The Tigers have become too focused on OBP. It's important but IF you can Slug then let it rip. Leave the OBP to those without power.

His stats in 2026 are OBP .311 - SLG .371 - Now again he's very young, so power may develop. Quote
