Tiger Cubs (notes on the minors)

[mtutiger]

Dingler now 2-3 with a double today.... 5 game hitting streak.

Maybe we're writing him off too quickly???

Keep piling on...it's working !

[Tiger337]

Nobody is writing Dingler off.  He is good prospect, not someone you can count on (few prospects are), but someone with a lot of potential.

Kreidler update

Right. Anybody not jumping on the hype train isn't necessarily writing prospects off, just know better than to get hopes up because most of them fail.

Dingler 2/2 so far so the insults are working

[mtutiger]

Continued power surge for Wenceel Perez...

It would be nice to see him reappear as a prospect.

[Jim Cowan]

But he has been stuck at WM since 2019

[microline133]

And that stretch at West Michigan includes a promotion to High-A.

[Dan Gilmore]

As a 22 yr old, it seems he’s a little behind for advancement through the minors, but is that true? 

[Jim Cowan]

That's true, he has been at High A only since last year.  He's 22 and needs to get to Erie soon.

among position players at WM, 3 are younger, 7 are older, 4 - like Wenceel, were born in '99.

He's not that old, he's just been around forever already.

That said, the best prospects should be young for their league, esp non-college players.

It seems like he's on the Parker Meadows track.... (not that he's fully recovered his stock, but still)

It's true for the guys you'd expect to be impact players.

But for a guy who could be an OK big leaguer for a few years in his prime it's normal.

so far, minor league system seems to be a reflection of major league team

lots of solid to good pitching performances despite injuries up and down system (even lower tier guys)

hitters are either low-ceiling platoon or bench bats, or way too young to know if they are ML starters; above Lakeland there are only 4 guys who even might be ML starters (Greene IL, Kreidler IL, Dingler and Keith)

I'd probably put Workman in the possible ML starter category as well, otherwise this seems right to me.

and Workman being a SS, you don't need all that much from the bat.

Better keep the cash flow positive Chris I

And a pandemic year.

Toledo has four catchers on the roster now... seems unnecessary 

[RatkoVarda]

Garneau not claimed and did not elect FA, so I think he can keep his 1st big pay day ever at 34 - $1.175M

good for him

[Tigeraholic1]

Next Primetime? 🤪

I was looking at the roster on MILB, and even with the 7 day ILs taken into account, the Mud Hens appear to have 17 Ps, 4 Cs, 6 IFs, and 4 OFs.  Seems a bit over the limits?  Must be some headshots need to be taken down off of the site?
