LongLiveMaroth Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 3 Tigers prospects made the BA hot sheet this week. 11. Hao-Yu Lee, 2B, Tigers Team: Double-A Erie (Eastern) Age: 21 Why He’s Here: .444/.448/.815 (12-for-27), 7 R, 1 2B, 3 HR, 9 RBIs, 1 BB, 5 SO, 0 SB The Scoop: The Tigers acquired Lee from the Phillies in exchange for Michael Lorenzen at the 2023 trade deadline. Last week he collected a hit in all six games at Richmond, including a four-hit game on June 1. Lee hit three home runs last week and has eight on the season, which puts him on pace to obliterate his personal best of nine. (ME) 12. Kevin McGonigle, SS/2B, Tigers Team: Low-A Lakeland (Florida State) Age: 19 Why He’s Here: .455/.500/.727 (10-for-22), 3 R, 3 2B, 1 HR, 7 RBIs, 4 BB, 5 SO, 2-for-2 SB The Scoop: The Tigers drafted McGonigle in the supplemental first round last year out of high school in Pennsylvania. The Florida State League has posed little challenge in his full-season debut. The sweet-swinging lefthanded hitter collected a hit in five of six games at Clearwater last week, including a pair of three-hit games. (ME) 20. Austin Bergner, RHP, Tigers Team: Double-A Erie (Eastern) Age: 27 Why He’s Here: 1-0, 1.80, 1 GS, 5 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 HBP, 2 BB, 11 SO The Scoop: Bergner is consistently an excellent pitcher at Double-A Erie. And frustratingly for him and the Tigers, that success never seems to carry over to Triple-A. Bergner is 12-5, 3.13 with a solid 194-to-68 strikeout-to-walk ratio and a .209 opponent’s average in 167 Double-A innings. When he gets promoted to Triple-A Toledo, everything falls apart. He’s made 22 appearances and 16 starts for Toledo over three different seasons, and he’s 2-6, 8.60 with a .286 opponent’s average. Bergner posted an 11.57 ERA in five April starts in Toledo. Sent back to Double-A, he’s 2-1, 3.20 in five starts, including this gem last week. At this point, it’s fair to say that it’s hard to say it’s going to convince anyone he’s ready for another shot at Triple-A, but it’s still an excellent week.

Tenacious D Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Seeing some nice performances from out top position prospects, but our minor league pitching prospects have been awful, outside of Hamm and Jobe (when he was healthy). Montero, Flores, Hurter, Madden, Melton and Smith have not been good so far this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee is providing a little bit more than I thought he would... But I don't know what that means for his MLB chances... At this point I'm still looking at Erie players Workman, Lee, and Trei Cruz as backup or utility guys at best, unless told otherwise. Maybe there's some starting potential somewhere in there amongst the 3... But I wouldn't call it that... just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also... Harris wants to populate the minors with "his type" of player. Even if a guy never makes it to MLB... having rosters filled with players that "control the strike zone" per Harris's description... influences every player coming up through the Org, IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casimir Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 What's happened to Justice Bigbie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1984Echoes Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 (edited) He never had the power profile that Carpenter had so I never really thought of him as a true prospect. More like a backup OF'er if his bat played all the up to MLB but there's lots of guys ahead of him so it's not an easy path. And since his bat isn't playing well currently at AAA... that's one more hurdle. Edited June 6 by 1984Echoes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1984Echoes Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Stealing this from another thread... I think this is the most important thing for Tork: 11 hours ago, gehringer_2 said: The worst case scenario is that what he is doing works well enough at Toledo that here is insufficient drive to change. It's going to be up to the coaches in Toledo to impress on him that they don't care what kind of numbers he generates against AAA pitching, he's not going back to Det until they see the approaches they want... And I think that goes for his fielding too... not just the bat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
