I think Max Clark can be another all star type of player.

Eventually. Making the jump is harder these days than ever, and it's probably unreasonable to expect instant success and not some bumps.

That is the most probable outcome.  It sounds like he has a high floor and I think think there is a good chance he makes the opening day roster, but I would expect some troubles initially.

I'll be curious to see where they play him and how many places they play him in ST.

It wouldn't shock me to see him at SS to judge how he handles it with the thought of Javy in CF.

I don't know how anyone can have faith in Meadows to hit or stay healthy.

Media sources seem to be constantly mentioning Javy having a bad second half.  What seldom seems to be mentioned is how well Javy played in the playoffs.  Played all 8 games at SS. led everyday Tigers in hits and average, second in OPS, only 3 strikeouts across 8 games.

Lynn Henning mentioned in his new daily that he would split between 3rd and SS. A part of me wants him to be up asap so he can compete for roy, so the Tigers can get another 1st rounder next year.

I recommend Lynn Hennings new sub, he's on substack.

The Tigers can have 4 1st round picks in 2027.  Their own, one from cb round A, a compensatory for Skubal, and a ppi.

I thought about it, but I am not paying $70 to read Lynn Henning.

I can already not read Henning for free.
