AlaskanTigersFan Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 18 hours ago, Cruzer1 said: Lefty hitting shortstop to go with lefty hitting third baseman (Jung) to go with lefty hitting 2nd baseman (McGonigle) to go with lefty hitting 1st baseman (Keith), to go with lefty hitting outfielders (Greene/Clark)... Righty hitter/future Tigers: JH Malloy, Dingler If 3 of these guys actually make it long term (including Greene) we are doing good.... I would love for them all to hit but realistically its highly doubtful... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edman85 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Cross that too left-handed bridge when you get there. The odds of all of those players becoming MLB Regulars and all the current MLB LHH still being around is slim to none. Accumulate and develop talent and let the chips fall where they may. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RatkoVarda Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 someone else mentioned the early love for Peyton Graham and Izaac Pacheco, a pair of 2nd rounds picks going nowhere fast. development is not a straight line and baseball is very hard. not sure how to differentiate this year's good job!, with previous years' good job!

If they were going to try and pop a difficult sign... I would've preferred Dax Whitney. Much better stuff, repeatability and projectability. But probably interested only in college at this point and not enough bonus available to change his mind... Just talking out loud... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, several of those SS prospects have strong enough arms that if they moved to a different position, they could easily move to 3B and be plus defenders there. I would love to have a capable left-side of the IF, and IMO, drafting a plethora of SS's is in that/ the right direction... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
