When looking at the Detroit Tigers 40-man roster last night in doing a write up on Matt Strahm, it never occurred to me to look back at the 2017 Houston Astros roster. Manager A.J. Hinch used just one left-hander in Tony Sipp out of the bullpen that season.

When the MLB lockout started back in December, we pumped the brakes on individual free agent pieces for the Detroit Tigers to consider. However, with the negotiations starting up again on Monday, we looked at a few arms that could help either the starting rotation or the bullpen.
As the Detroit Tigers mini-camp resumes tomorrow, as far as arms that are in camp that might shape the 2022 Erie SeaWolves rotation, we have to look back at their 2021 season for a moment. The SeaWolves finished 64-55 under manager Arnie Beyeler as their offense was one of the more potent ones in the…
One of the most enjoyable aspects in going to the minor league games last season between all four Detroit Tigers affiliates was watching prospects quickly make a name for themselves, especially players in the lower rounds of the draft like Garrett Hill and Beau Brieske, just to name a few.
The lockout continues to eat into Major League Baseball’s 2022 timeline as news came out that spring training games would be canceled until March 5. The labor discussions between the MLBPA and the owners will resume on Monday with the goal of hopefully starting the season on time. For Detroit Tigers fans and baseball fans…
For the first time since 2017, the Detroit Tigers are picking outside of the top ten in the MLB Draft. We first took a stab at projecting the top of this class way back in July, shortly after the 2021 draft concluded, and things haven’t changed too dramatically since then. We have some performances from…
During our Detroit Tigers radio podcast a few weeks back, myself and Chris Brown talked to the voice of the West Michigan Whitecaps Dan Hasty and we received questions about what the rotation would look like for the Whitecaps in 2022. It got me thinking about projecting the what the pitching staffs would look like…
The odds of a delayed 2022 MLB season are growing stronger, but images of Detroit Tigers minor leaguers in action have begun leaking out of spring training camp. MLive’s Evan Woodbery tweeted out the roster for Detroit’s minor-league mini-camp on Wednesday morning (it’s fairly close to our depth chart projections), and various beat writers began…
The Detroit Tigers had a widely-applauded draft in 2020; a year in which the selection process was limited to just five rounds and the Detroit Tigers were limited to just six picks. The Tigers would kick off day one with consensus top player Spencer Torkelson, but they also led off day two with the second…
For the past month we’ve been offering detailed looks at all the Detroit Tigers prospects we ranked in our top 20 list. Most recently we wrote about infielder Ryan Kreidler and pitchers Joey Wentz and Ty Madden, but now we focus on the the highest ranked pitching prospect in the system, Jackson Jobe.
If there is anything we have learned about the Detroit Tigers fanbase across the rebuild, it’s that the fans are unbelievably loyal to their team. They watched their club limp to last-place finishes and 95+ loss seasons from 2017-2019 and likely would have had another in 2020 had it not been for a pandemic-shortened year.
With the minor league mini camp starting on Wednesday, we are getting close to wrapping up the best prospects in the Detroit Tigers system. Number six was Ryan Kreidler, the third member of an impressive power trio of himself, Spencer Torkelson and Riley Greene. Coming in at number 5, just like our friends over at…
At Motor City Bengals, we’re counting down our best prospects in the Detroit Tigers system. Our seventh-ranked prospect was Joey Wentz, which you can find here. That brings us to one of the more polarizing players in the entire system: Ryan Kreidler.
Growing up in the suburbs of Detroit, there was one thing that my brothers and I did every Saturday in the fall and that was watching Michigan football on WXYZ-TV Channel 7. In my early youth, I tuned into the stations of the day, the Planet 96.3, 89X, WRIF for Drew and Mike in the…
It is an obvious statement that any work stoppage for a professional sports team never sits well with the fanbase. Some will not renew their season tickets, while others may not watch them on television or a streaming service. For the Detroit Tigers, after an exciting season in which they were able to finish better…
The latest player in our Detroit Tigers prospect ranking series is lefty Joey Wentz, who returned midway through the 2021 season after recovering from a Tommy John surgery that wiped away his 2020. There has been debate among the best pitching prospect in the Tigers system since the departures of Casey Mize, Tarik Skubal, and…
After many years of waiting, and having to watch as his old teammate and his former double-play partner had their numbers immortalized, Lou Whitaker finally gets to see his number retired by the Detroit Tigers.
Today we look at promising young outfielder Roberto Campos, who ranks ninth on our list of Detroit Tigers prospects. For the past month we’ve been offering detailed looks at some of the players in our top 20 prospects. Most recently we wrote about infielders Colt Keith, Izaac Pacheco, and Gage Workman, but today we focus…
The state of Michigan, as a collective for the history of Black players, has stories that go back into the late 1800s, starting with University of Michigan graduate Moses Fleetwood Walker who was the first African-American to play in a professional league. The Page Fence Giants, who played in Adrian, Michigan, were one of the…
The Detroit Tigers were one of the more active teams before the lockout, but they will need to continue that theme following the MLB lockout if they want to achieve their goal of having a winning club in 2022.
