    At Torkelson's age I can accept talk about a player haveing a good process that you believe is going to produce results. Nick Maton had nearly 1700 PA in the minors and never generated much of anything. Assuming a normal drop in OPS facing major league pitching, the odds of him turning into a valuable MLB regular were never much to begin with.

    The self-inflicted loses are so much harder to take.
  3. gehringer_2
    Not surprised. Not unusual for Hinch to go stubborn.
  4. gehringer_2
    heck - Short can play a passable OF so McKinstry can play 3B.
  5. gehringer_2
    Correa sitting on that curve ball. Tigers got some major BaBIP luck there.
  6. gehringer_2
    Lange's FB on furlough
  7. gehringer_2
    yeah - that too. sadly the candidate at Toledo currently, Lipcius, doesn't look like he can handle 3B either.
  8. gehringer_2
    Or McKinstry. He doesn't have the greatest glove either but at least his arm is relatively reliable.

    the thing is, he neither throws well nor fields well, can't catch anything to his right at all. You might at well be playing Torkelson there as Maton. What is the point of beating the dead horse? Even if he starts to hit you don't want him at 3B. Guys don't often turn into better fielders at 27
  10. gehringer_2
    and Maton deliver's the inevitable error under pressure. I'm done with him.
  11. gehringer_2
    Bringing Short into the game is a the perfect opportunity to upgrade the D in the late innings, but Maton still at 3rd trying to lose the game.
  12. gehringer_2
    Tigers don't make the Twins pay for bad baserunning and it cost them a run.
  13. gehringer_2
    Absolutely. It's true that guys that can't handle the velocity side reasonably well normally won't get past AA, so we don't see them. Though a few do get all the way to the majors before finally being exposed - e.g. Christin Stewart.

    BTW - something Yzerman has a lot of 1st person experience with.

    another 2 hits for P Meadows tonight. 916 OPS for June, but still can't get the K rate under 30%. That's his last hurdle, but too many guys founder on it.
  16. gehringer_2
    Holton and Englert better be sharp tomorrow.

    2nd time in two nights Cabrera tried to sneak it past a fielder waiting for him up the middle with men on base. Got to try to do a little more than that Miguel.

    The road out of the Majors is littered with guys who could hit the FB and never adjusted to breaking balls .
  19. gehringer_2
    yeah - that did not look good at all.
  20. gehringer_2
    I'm sure MN would rather not have DeLeon hurt, but this also going to leave Lange to get iced.
  21. gehringer_2
    I'm glad Harris sees all the progress that Maton is making in his process. That and 5$ will get him a Vente.
  22. gehringer_2
    They can't make this easy, can they?
  23. gehringer_2
    Have I remarked in the last 5 min that Maton is no 3B?
  24. gehringer_2
    Marisnik hit it hard, and a slightly better AB by Torkelson - but nothing comes of it.
  25. gehringer_2
    That's why I'd rather draft a guy with great spin on his FB than his slider. If your fastball is great, your off speed doesn't have to be - it will still work. If your off speed is great, that's nice, but you will still get hammered when you have to throw your fastball. I don't think Avila ever understood the difference.
