Correct, those cleats are no way indicative of being thin skinned.

It's an interesting point.... 

I'm guessing Max isn't oblivious to the Wyatt Langford comparisons, or even just the general nature of this fanbase to bestow holy status on the draft pick that occurs immediately after the Tigers pick in any given first round. 

Ultimately don't know that it's constructive though.

IDK how much  prep draftee is going to/should focus on being compared to a college player. I guess if he were that would be a red flag to me.

Also - The context is that Clark is a shoe nut - sort of Imelda Marcos of the Diamond set. He apparently has hundreds of pairs of designer shoes. So it's a hobby with him.

... and the corresponding move was to rescue Pedro Garcia and reassign him to extended spring.

he is still the youngest player on the roster.

[SoCalTiger]

McGonigle is going to be a solid major leaguer.

Lakeland with 13 in the 1st 4 innings. Clark with 2 more walks and McGonigal 3/4.

I know Clark isn't a power hitter, but why was the Tampa OF pulled in so far? Crazy.

How can anyone put up those kind of numbers wearing mean cleats?

I guess they wanted a shot at home on the runner at 2B in case of a base hit - but it was only the 1st inning.

I think playing well at West Michigan would be a successful season.

So, 56 AB's...multiply by 10 for a full season, 40 steals and 130 RBI.  I know I know, SSS and nobody cares about counting stats but still...he is at least meeting expectations don't you think?

The HR power hasnt shown yet but everything else is showing up for Clark after his disastrous start. Up to a 140rc+ on the season.

[microline133]

Hitting for power in the FSL as a teenager would be a momentous achievement. 

[theroundsquare]

mostly because the parks tend to be so big?  

[Topliner1903]

I wonder if a good comparable for Max Clark would be Lenny Dykstra.
