Jim Cowan Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Enough of Hot Stove etc. We're back live, and I have something important to say. Boy, do I hate those stupid-looking black and gray hoodies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Cowan Posted March 15, 2022 Author Share Posted March 15, 2022 Hinch says he isn't planning on carrying 5 "outfield only" guys. So if Greene makes the team, there are only 2 jobs for Baddoo, Hill, Cameron, and Reyes. Which means there is one job for Hill, Cameron and Reyes.

Reyes and Hill will be good competition. Reyes had a good off season and you pretty much know what you've got - it ain't gonna be a lot but he can OPS 850 against LHP so he's a good pair with Baddoo. Hill has the higher ceiling but the bat has to be there right now. I think he can win the job coming out of the gate if he hits well in ST but whichever of them wins it. the other is only the 1st slump away from swapping places so I don't see it as a very big deal whichever comes north in April. As per this link Baddoo, Reyes, Cameron & Hill all have options remaining so they will be free to bounce them around.

Tigermojo Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Ideally Baddoo, Greene and Cameron can all reach their potential as 20/20 guys for years to come. It's good to have Hill and Reyes available though. I think Hill and Cameron will start at AAA this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameron put up very good numbers in Toledo last season (though less than 200 AB’s). He’s ready to be pushed, though might get squeezed instead. I’d platoon Hill and Baddoo, and start Cameron and Reyes in Toledo. Reyes only gets the call in case of injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAbbott Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Cameron , perhaps as I am beginning to think, will prove to be the Great White Whale of Tigers Baseball. Like Melville's creation in "Moby Dick", the appearance of his vaunted production may prove to be elusive. I hope he puts it all together, as his past flashes of brilliance are exciting.
