Motor City Sonics Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 I don't know why Lynn Henning is suggesting Riley Greene has to have a 5-week rehab at Toledo. Now, it may take 5 weeks, sure, but if he starts hitting the ball well then, with a shortage of true outfielders even after Austin Meadows returns, why would they wait that long? Henning suggested in a tweet that recovery wise it will take 5 weeks at Toledo. That makes absolutely no sense. If he's not ready, then why would he play AT ALL, ANYWHERE? I don't know what happened to Lynn but he kind of stopped making sense a while ago. I started having my doubts when we interviewed him on WTKA and he said Scott Sizemore was a better defensive 2b than Placido Polanco. Um, what?

If Lynn still maintains his sources within the Tigerosphere I'll be a bit surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was throwing bullpens successfully in April, throwing batting practice to Kreidler in May, but remains on the IL with no rehab assignment. Are they waiting to send him to the FLA complex league when it starts? not to be flippant, but who cares? the possibility that he can be an org arm is incredibly low; the chance he gets to the majors is basically zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned in another thread, Lynn was pushing the idea of starting Greene in Toledo while he was raking in Spring Training as well. Not sure if he has any special insight or if he just doesn't like Greene for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigers new development staff is looking good. Offensively, there's really nothing wrong with his peripherals.... not a Kerry Carpenter situation where you see a massive BABIP discrepancy. Fielding seems to be an issue, decent range factor, but 5 errors in 22 games at 2B isn't great. It's nice to see that there are a few guys who are improved or at least advancing this year.... Wenceel seems like the best example of that, but Parker Meadows to a lesser extent is another (although we haven't seen a lot of success at Erie so far) Edited June 2, 2022 by mtutiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edman85 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 I came in here to point out Daniel Cabrera was demoted to West Michigan. But now I also want to point out Riley Greene is not on rehab in Toledo. He's just in Toledo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise does it matter? He's already on the 40 so he's already burning an 'option' to be in Toledo -- maybe the only difference is what they have to pay him?

Fair point, and they'll have to make a roster move to get him up here since he's not on the 40. Which they will at some point. I wonder if the looming (yet often pushed back) deadline for 14 pitchers is maybe the day for him to get on the 40, should it end on the 19th.... particularly given that Barnes would be a good candidate for DFA 59 minutes ago, Edman85 said: Also, y'all know I'm tracking minor league lineups in a google doc, right? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jRnDAcv86yGYl1Tq6fdXD1VoGr2Ls5PiRBNEFBXHL3Y/edit#gid=443978389 Excellent, thanks for sharing.

Manning to the 60 day would seem to be the likely choice. He is coming up on 60 days anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1984Echoes Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 13 hours ago, Tenacious D said: Folks, I’m gonna need a ruling on Wenceel. Only 22, so he’s not old for High A, and on pace for a 20-20 season. Legit? His talent has always been legit. He was the Tigers' first "big" International signing when they spent $550K in 2016 on him. He's always had speed (between last year and this year he's stolen 34 bases and been caught 3 times...) and a hit tool. He's had flashes before this year too... But, as usual, you never know how a prospect is actually going to develop, legit or not. He seems to be filling out and starting to produce nice results with some added power. As opposed to some high profile 2nd rounders (Meadows, Rivera) flopping because their ability to hit a baseball at the higher levels is non-existent. Can he sustain it as he rises up the ranks...? I think we'll see on that shortly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
