SoCalTiger Posted June 15, 2022 Posted June 15, 2022 Keith Kriedler and Greene. Top 3 hopes and all hurt. 2022 Tigers if you suck you play and if your good your hurt. Quote
RandyMarsh Posted June 15, 2022 Posted June 15, 2022 Yeah we don't need a scout to tell us whether Kerry Carpenter is actually somebody to get legit excited about, the fact that he hasn't got injured yet is all the confirmation I need to realize that he probably is destined to just be an organizational guy, if he was destined for more he'd already be hurt by now. 1 Quote

Yeah when you see video of him he actually looks like a hitter, he looks so tall and balanced and his hands are in a controlled position for a short quick swing. I hope he gets back quickly. Quote

I hope he gets back quickly. Yeah IIRC he was pretty highly touted coming into that COVID shortened draft but dropped to us do to signability concerns. So even though he wasn't technically a 1st or even 2nd round pick he very well may have had the talent to be one which is another reason that makes me more of a believer in him. Quote
Hart Posted June 15, 2022 Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) Interesting article on ESPN about top pitching prospect shutting it down before the draft to protect their arms. It's insider only though. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/34084142/how-one-pitching-prospect-change-mlb-draft-forever-not-pitching My main takeaway from this is just anger at the Tiger's organization for using top 10 picks on pitching prospects three times since 2016.

The data they were discussing only applies to prep pitchers, so at least the Tigers have only spent two top 10 picks on them since 2016. Quote

You basically draft guys in proportion to their numbers on the roster. So that's about 50% pitchers. Quote
Tenacious D Posted June 15, 2022 Posted June 15, 2022 The dearth of elite college pitchers in this draft is going to work against the Tigers. Not because they should take another, but because of serious arm injuries (some are TJ) to 3-4 guys who likely would have been top 15 picks, means that the 11 teams ahead of us will be drafting position players, some of which might have fallen to us. Saw a few mocks where Brock Porter, a local pitcher from Orchard Lake St. Mary HS, will be the first pitcher drafted. By whom you might ask? According to the mocks, the Tigers will take him with their 12th pick. I don’t think that will happen, but it’s just the Tiger’s luck that the best position players will likely be gone before they pick. Quote
Clinkeroo Posted June 15, 2022 Posted June 15, 2022 If the best position player in the draft miraculously fell to us at 12, AA would pick a high school pitcher anyway. I hear he does that sort of thing. Quote
kdog Posted June 16, 2022 Posted June 16, 2022 Greene double, Kriedler walk, Candelario RBI double to left fielder/old friend Christin Stewart. Quote
kdog Posted June 16, 2022 Posted June 16, 2022 Greene with a single scoring Hill via a Woo-Sox error. Quote

Nerb Posted June 16, 2022 Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) Was impressive just how quickly Riley got up and got to third after the steal. Seems weird that he's not up here at this point. Edited June 16, 2022 by Nerb Quote

RandyMarsh Posted June 16, 2022 Posted June 16, 2022 Candy 2-4 with a double in his first rehab start in Toledo. I guess we can hope that maybe he was feeling banged up to start the year and didn't say anything so now after this time off he comeback and start to hit. Quote

Tenacious D Posted June 16, 2022 Posted June 16, 2022 I’d like to see Tork go down to Toledo. Allow him to get back on track. Put Schoop at 1B and give Clemens some more AB’s at 2B. Quote

His defense at second base has been one of the few bright spots. 1 Quote

gehringer_2 Posted June 16, 2022 Author Posted June 16, 2022 the only drawback is that Harold doesn't have much reach, but what can you do? Carpenter had two double today BTW --- just sayin'..... Quote
