Funny... I look at AJ's comments and don't have the same reaction that McCosky does.

I think Cody Stavenhagen mentioned in last week’s podcast that Vierling has better speed than Greene, but Greene has better jumps and reads.  No idea where MeadowsP factors in.

right. Riley plays better than his speed, whether Vierling can play up to his speed is what they want/need to find out.

Somewhere I saw that Parker was the best CF'er of the 3

I think Riley has said that Parker was the best outfielder of their group when they played together in the minors.

This is going to be the key for all 3 of them - Parker, Baddoo, and Carpenter.

Who can handle Major League sliders and curves, etc...?

Baddoo can not and has shown no power.

Parker has more seasoning and is more accomplished than Baddoo was when he originally made the team, though the circumstances were different.  I don’t think it’s a stretch to start him in Detroit, but I’m OK with Carpenter getting that spot.  

Baddoo is a distant 3rd in the competition.

The Tigers are second in OPS and 21st in ERA this Spring.  Imagine if their hitters come through and their pitching fails.  Spring stats mean almost nothing, but it could happen!

I'm not certain if I would laugh or cry over that...

maybe both.

I enjoyed the 1990’s era Tigers. Bill Gullickson had 20 wins and a 3.90 ERA in 91.

I agree the early 90s Tigers were a fun team.  If they have to be mediocre, I'll take that form of mediocre.

That was a fun team to follow.

I’ve been out of pocket this weekend and opened this thread to see what happened in the game. I see that the Tigers won. But not a single word about the game in this whole thread. You guys are slipping.  ;>}
