The alternative is probably Baddoo. Probably why they haven't sent him down yet.

Baddoo would be a great boost to the offense! All kidding aside, it wouldn't have to be him. Greene was fine in CF. Cahna is supposed to be an OF. Meadows could be the best defensive CF in the history of MLB and he would still be terrible hitting 0.080 and slugging 0.180. He needs to be a Mud Hen tomorrow

Shitty Willi Castro has been a tiger killer so far. 9 hits on the year and 5 of them have been against us .

I know that WAR is a flawed stat, but looking at the Tigers, and it may actually be useless. Parker Meadows has a +0.3 offensive WAR. How on earth can a player that is hitting 0.080, slugging 0.180. and an OBP of 0.220 be better than replacement level? This makes no sense at all.

His player value -- batting, shows it comes from his Defense. oWAR -0.1 dWAR .5 = dWAR 0.4

OPS+ says a lot how bad he's doing offensively 27.

gotcha. I was looking on ESPN and they had his batting WAR at 0.3 and fielding at 0.5.

Do we need to start a Meadows = HOF thread?

I don't know. I think that part of the reason why we started that thread was because we thought that Inge thought that he belonged in the HOF. And he had been in the league for years when we started that thread.

It is Buddy Kennedy's world and we are all just living in it

The Detroit Tigers had a spectacular rookie moment over the weekend, and if it continues, Buddy Kennedy should stay on the roster full-time.

Panic struck the Detroit Tigers when news broke of Gio Urshela hitting the injured list. Luckily, the corresponding roster move has brought Buddy Kennedy into center stage. And he is thriving.

Broke down and signed up for Bally this year in order to watch the tigers, been watching here and there. Overall I don’t like how quick these games go now, they are too quick now and finding the team rather boring. Was asked the other day who my favorite player was now with miggy retired and after thinking for a bit concluded, I don’t have one they are all rather meh, I do however have a least fav player

Baez.

I think you should pick Verlander.

I think you should pick Verlander.

May settle on A slogan instead. The kid at Sundays game with the tork bomb Sunday sign was great. The only thing missing was a tork bomb Sunday. That needs to catch on though, every Sunday this year is now tork bomb Sunday!
