an oft injured backup catcher as the main return for the best pitcher of this generation.

Al Avila strikes again.

I disagree on the backup catcher thing.  He is a legit starter, top third in MLB, with 25 home run power.  He's a good player.

bonkers offense at every level, and a lot from the "real" prospects

more on Justice Bigbie: except for one Freep article, cannot find anything on line about him. The parallels with Carpenter are glaring, though Bigbie is RH and his surge is more hit based, not power. Pretty great year obviously. Erie is going to playoffs, but he might force his way to Toledo if he keep going like this

Rogers is a very good defensive C with some power...he has a lot of value in today's game.  I was half expecting him to get traded.  Perez got hurt, Daz never panned out.  In retrospect it was a horrible trade....at the time, I think most people thought Al Al did OK.

Parker showing no sign of slowing down. And his OPS against LHP is 878.

did the team finally get him some lexapro?

the "he" here was not Austin Meadows; it was Ryan Kreidler

Can't watch the Tigers game because it is on Apple TV? Well, you can watch Jobe pitch tonight for free as WM is the free game of the day.

Wenceel, Parker and JHM need some MLB audition time -- even if they don't think any of them are slam dunks to make the team out of ST next spring.

[Tigermojo]

Quite a day for Meadows.  It's good to see Kreidler back at AAA. I miss his defense at third.

[Toddwert]

At what point does Parker get the call up? He’s back to killing it and Hasse and Badoo arent

[Edman85]

Dillon Paulson and Diego Rincones added to the release pile... So much for the Domestic Reserve List roster crunch.

[Dan Gilmore]

Who?

Haase stays because he's a catcher.

Baddoo might want to start hitting soon.  Like, beginning today.

Justice Bigbie’s going to lap him soon.

IIRC, one of the reason they were never high on Paredes is that they though he'd never hit of any power. Bigbie's HR rate has picked up this season, granted he is a couple years older than when Isaac's power finally began to emerge.

They said the same of Granderson, too.

For some reason, every time I see this picture of Jobe, it reminds me of this other guy. (Not Norm Cash. 🙂 )

Jobe looked good, 5IP 0ER 6K and 2 pickoffs.

Nice catch. The kick is smaller than Denny's and Jackson 'sits down' a little lower but there is definitely an echo there.
