I see that the Twins just promoted Walker Jenkins to Single A, wonder when/if the Tigers are going to do that with Clark this year?

Also, let's be clear, anybody that thought they got  a "real" prospect for Joe Jimenez....was, wait for the word, delusional.

I will NOT stand for this Jake Higginbotham slander.

Next Tuesday. Complex season ends on Saturday, so expect a lot of promotions of players they want to get more PT. I bet we see McGonigle, Turney, Callahan, Campbell, Briceno too.

Wowza

(not great for Turnbull or Englert, though)

[SoCalTiger]

So will they activate Trumbull or keep him in AAA for second year of control ?

8 base runners in 11 outs does not exactly scream "Call me up - I'm ready"

OTOH, I think it might be safe to assume that in a game where 34 runs were scored, the K zone could have been the size of a postage stamp.

LOL, should have know that - I was just a Hen's game and watched them making challenges. Makes me wonder then - when games get out of hand do human umps eventually start subconsciously widening the zone to slow things down?

[Jim Cowan]

Malloy's OBP is .423.  Make him the regular DH in Detroit next year, maybe try to hide him in left field in road games once a week.

[Shinzaki]

Turnbull optioned to Toledo

When they don't discuss an actual position in the answer, that's code for he has absolutely no position.

What are his chances of making it as a primary DH?  He'd probably need a .800 OPS to make it worthwhile.

It all boils down to how his patience and strike zone knowledge translates when pitchers are throwing more strikes than he's ever seen, and better quality strikes at that. Does the strikeout rate spike and power dip because he's still trying to wait out pitchers, or did he adjust and swing more at pitches he can drive?

Thanks,  I am hoping he makes it for a couple of reasons.  1.  I'd like to see them have a high OBP guy in their line-up.  It's been lacking for years.  2. I saw him interviewed and he sounds bright and personable.  He reminded me of Granderson and he could be a fan favorite if he succeeeds as a hitter.

Eddys Leonard 2-3 with a HR and a walk tonight. Now sporting a tidy .964 OPS in Toledo since we acquired him.
