Series Thread: Tigers in town 6/24-26

Pena and Choice have somebody behind them. Rua and Smolinski can play 1B and could DH. Choice has been really frustrating. I know the ability is there. He seems lost and is lacking confidence right now.

 

[Justinkm83]

Smolinski and Rua have similar numbers across the board (except batting average .267 vs .300)

Both our their numbers were better a week or so ago. The whole Frisco team has been slumping.

I'm surprised they didn't call up Telis. He's been playing well too. They might wait until Alfaro is ready to come up to AA

Klein has been nearly unhittable. Last time I looked his ERA was under 1.

Klein has done well as he has moved up through the system. Smolinski is above average. Rua jumped from Hickory to Frisco and will be interesting to watch. Did a good job with the bat this year. And we all know about Jackson. That will be of great interest as well of course.

Phil Klein might be a quick callup if he performs in AAA for an extended period, his numbers are indeed outstanding

Might as well. If ever there was a year to give guys opportunity to get some big league exposure this is it. September will be very interesting for different reasons this year.

Beginning of the year I wanted to say adios. But beggars can't be choosers now.

Looking at the roster in AAA, minus Jackson now, we don't really have much in the way of talent but BP wise we have a collection of solid arms; West, Bonilla, Mendez & Feliz

Not sure where Ross fits long term, I know I haven't given up on him starting, he had some hard knocks but I still saw a load of talent he just has to put it together, I don't believe he has ever started above AA, maybe he can figure things out in AAA

Position player wise (minus the recent promotees) we had almost nothing in the way of young (and good) talent

Anyone know anything about Brett Nicholas' defense? I could see him being a solid backup catcher if he plays good defense

I'd rather have him than Robertson, but i definitely would like to see Beltre do a full rehab before making a decision on either

Looks like that includes Gallo, average down to .255

I think Ross getting time in at AAA as a starter may help. At least I hope something gets him back into the swing of things again.

Side Bar-looks like Chandler and Felton for Calderon, Dalembert, Ellington. Larkin and future 2nd round draft pick. Hate to lose Larkin.

 

[Justinkm83]

Tyson Chandler might be coming back!!!

Damnit Wastin. You beat me

Come on guys, we have a Mavs thread!

Sure some of that is a learning curve. If he can hit 270 at all levels that would be great. Actually, if his power continues I would probably settle for a little less average.

Can't get anything past you jta.

I just said it to direct people there. I know you hate it. I've pissed off enough people today. I wasn't trying to with this.

Ha no I was mostly being funny, I just didn't want it to take over the thread... I was also directing people to the Mavs thread

We all get off topic
