No. He needs extended time in AAA. When he proves he can hit a MLB fastball down the middle of the plate is when he deserves further consideration. I know he had a stronger collegiate career than Barry Bonds at ASU. He has yet to prove he can hit Major League pitching. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to have played at or slightly older than his peers’ age. I was looking over the Toledo roster and thought another lefty bat would be nice for lineup balance. I don’t know if that’s where he is headed, but it seems like it’d be a bit for both he and the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing he's more of an org guy than anything to expect in the D anytime soon lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked again, he’s pretty much been +/- less than a year, so it shouldn’t be a big deal. He probably is more of an organizational guy. Hey, those ball players are necessary, too. I have to think a stronger supporting cast helps to improve the skill sets of the higher regarded prospects. And with some luck, they might find another surprise here and there, too.

Enough of the 'higher' end on base guys, with bat to ball skills and some power and/or speed to go with, cannot hurt the organization and depth.

Tigermojo Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 I was trying to figure out how to install MiLB First Pitch on my Amazon Fire stick but couldn't find any instructions. In the MLB.tv app there is a section "Detroit Tigers Affiliates Games" and Toledo's game is there. It says come back at 4:05 so hopefully it works.

Tiger337 Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 It might become more common with higher salaries. I can see older players hanging on for another year or two with better salaries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
