RandyMarsh Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 https://www.mlb.com/prospects/2022/top100/ New pipeline top 100 with Witt at number 1. No surprise but Tork, Greene and Jobe are the only Tigers to make the list at 4, 5 and 40 respectively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottwood Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 (edited) The same Tigers scout, Joey Lothrop, found and scouted Beau Brieske (27th round pick) and Wilmer Flores (UDFA). Edited March 22, 2022 by Scottwood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1776 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Not sure where to put this …. MLB is is currently communicating to the different minor league park/facility owners that the funding and plans to upgrade to MLB required standards will be due in 2023. The Durham Bulls (AAA) have determined that in order to meet the MLB demands the costs will be $10 million. The Asheville Tourists (A+) will be looking at a $30 million tab. Asheville is one of the oldest parks in use today. It’s a great fan experience. Some of the Asheville money will go for upgrading the fan experience that current ownership wants in addition to the the MLB core requirements. I’m sure many teams will face these challenges in the coming year. I could imagine that some teams may even be forced to relocate at some point if city and town officials don’t approve of spending money on ballparks. As I understand it, MLB is putting zero dollars into this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the same as going to a MLB game packed with over 30,000 people where I just want to be comfortable. Minor league baseball is a different story.

CMRivdogs Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Durham is on my want to visit list this year. I have a doctors appointment at Duke the week Norfolk is there. May have to check into tickets. May need to talk the wife into a ballpark tour this summer, Richmond is just up the road, there is family in Roanoke (Salem), Lynchburg is on the way, maybe add Fredericksburg to the mix. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1776 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 21 minutes ago, Tigeraholic1 said: What are some survivor minor league parks worth checking out? Of the 10 parks in North Carolina currently home to an affiliated team, I would encourage folks to attend a game in Asheville (Tourists) and a game in Kinston, NC. (Down East Wood Ducks) Both of these parks are yesteryear parks and lack some of the creature comforts newer parks offer. However, both parks are unique in their own ways and both parks have their own histories. i’ve been to both parks numerous times over the years and hope to get to them both again this season. They will both face difficulties I believe in satisfying MLB’s mandates for upgrades. I hope I am wrong on this. Last year my wife and I completed a “bucket list” item that had been out there a while. We have now been to a game in all 10 active minor league parks in North Carolina. Three new parks in the state in the past several years put us in the catch up mode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIGHLY recommend Bosse Field in Evansville, Indiana. Triplets use to play there, A League of Their Own was filmed there and it is the third oldest park (1915) behind Fenway and Wrigley. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely, he has the stuff and experience to be one of the quicker movers from the overall 2021 draft class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
