Shinzaki Posted July 15 Posted July 15 All ten of those guys look like potential MLB players...back when Moya was our top prospect, that wasn't the case Quote
NorthWoods Posted July 15 Posted July 15 3Catchers in the Top10, there has to be a C/1B in there somewhere. Quote

Adding in Tusen because well he's been on fire and he signed for 400K so not a small amount.

The last two games of June, then the first three in July were 2K, 3K, 2K, 3K, and 3K. In the 6 games since that blip he's only struck out more than once in a game one time. Quote

Even if he improves, his K rate will likely be closer to 30% in the majors. His power and defense will be critical. For this reason, I would not rate him above Max Clark. Quote

He has a 6/7 game last night raising his BA to .294 after a slow start in April and May, he hit .324/.458/.500 in June. He also has 44 SB already. There is a new rule in the minors in which the pitcher only gets one throw over and it seems he is taking advantage. He has a BB rate of 15% and a K rate of less than 20. He has increased his LD and FB %'s this season as well while becoming less of a pull hitter. Someone to keep an eye on if they push him to Toledo with Peck. OK... I'll bite. I'm getting on the Peyton Graham bandwagon, even before the John Peck bandwagon... even though Peck is a year younger, in AAA, and probably the better fielder. Call Graham a late-bloomer. But in the past two years (high-A and AA) he's hitting .290 with a .392 OBP and .816 OPS... but what's really striking to me is the 68 SB's and caught stealing only FIVE times. 68 and 5. not a bad ratio. I'm interested. Not completely sold just yet... but very, very interested. I would imagine both Peck and Graham get invited to spring training in 2027. And then we'll just see what happens from there... 1 Quote

I believe... (maybe he proves me wrong). McKinstry should be a backup only so I'm not counting him. Vying for starting or platoon positions with the 2027 Tigers at 2B/ SS/ 3B: Lee. Maybe Max Anderson? At SS: Graham? Peck? Colt Keith at 3B? I think they can fit McGonigle in at any position, whatever's best for the Tigers as a whole. IE: What is our best starting IF (not counting 1B) in 2027? Is it Lee/ McGonigle/ Keith? Lee/ Peck/ McGonigle? McGonigle/ Peck/ Keith? McGonigle/ Graham/ Keith? McGonigle/ Peck/ Graham? Does Max Anderson factor into the equation anywhere? At all? Does Jace Jung arise from the ashes like a phoenix to participate in the camp position battles? Does someone (Trei Cruz?) finally push McKinstry out of his backup (and all TOO often starter's spot...) Infield/ sometimes OF job? I think 2027 Spring Training battles for certain spots are going to be... interesting!!! IMO. Quote

I wouldn’t either, but if healthy I think they’d be fine with Baez and McGonigle sharing short next year like they started this season. Quote

But McGonigle will be playing every day, or nearly every day. He's a starter, no matter how many games of that are at 2B, or SS, or 3B. Baez gets squeezed in somewhere, and not on any everyday basis. I wouldn't call that a share if McGonigle is starting 150+ games on the IF. This is really down to Lee, Keith, Peck, Graham, Anderson, Zach, Baez (or do we obtain some other option?) and any other competition for the remaining IF play. McGonigle is the starter, somewhere, 150+ games. Probably at SS. Baez is not going to change that. The only thing that changes is if Peck or Graham are so superior to Lee that the best configuration is McGonigle at 2B and one of the other guys at SS. Not Baez. IMO. Quote

Unless he collapses, I don’t see much chance Peck or Graham takes Lee’s spot next year. They may earn their own spot at the expense of someone else (McKinstry/Veirling) but Lee getting the initial adjustment over and playing good defense makes 2nd his place to lose in 2027 IMO. Quote

Tenacious D Posted July 19 Posted July 19 I think given current roster construction, your primary SS next season is McGonigle, with Baez backing up. 3B will be predominantly Keith, with Lee or Anderson platoon. 2B will be Lee or Anderson, with McKinstry in the mix all over. The wild card is what they do with Tork. If they decide to move on from him, they may move Keith back to 1B and give Jung a shot at 3B in a platoon. Rainer should factor in late ‘27 or spring ‘28.
