A Draft requires more than five years before we can make a final judgment as to how well (or poorly) picks played out. But it’s already safe to say that the 2018 Draft hasn’t turned out as expected to this point. The first seven picks — Casey Mize (Tigers), Joey Bart (Giants), Alec Bohm (Phillies),

TACOMA, Wash. — When Mike Ford told his current manager, John Russell, about his 2022 season, Russell had an apt response: “That’s not a season. That’s a career!” That about sums it up. Ford, a heavy-hitting first baseman and designated hitter, is currently a member of the Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers.
DETROIT — The first ball Jake Marisnick saw as a Tiger was a 417-foot drive from Rangers leadoff hitter Marcus Semien on Wednesday afternoon. Marisnick chased it to the depths of left-center field, bouncing lightly off the fence after making the catch. “Wasn’t too bad, had a little give to it,” Marisnick said with a
Spirits among Detroit Tigers’ faithful were low entering Wednesday afternoon’s series finale against the Texas Rangers. Not only had the Texas offense whooped Detroit’s pitching two days in a row. Not only did the team just lose its best pitcher and best position player for indefinite periods less than 24 hours apart. But Joey Wentz,
The Tigers will promote pitching prospect Reese Olson to make his Major League debut prior to Friday’s game against the White Sox, manager A.J. Hinch announced to the team’s beat this morning (link via Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press). He’ll step into the vacated rotation spot of lefty Eduardo Rodriguez, who’s on the

DETROIT — For the second time in 15 months, the Tigers have lost promising young outfielder Riley Greene to a freak injury. This time, they lose him just as he was emerging as the key cog in the Tigers’ resurgence in the American League Central. What looked initially like a minor injury on Tuesday night
10:00am: The Tigers have formally announced Greene’s placement on the injured list and the selection of Marisnick’s contract. In order to open a spot on the 40-man roster for Marisnick, Detroit transferred righty Trey Wingenter from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list. Wingenter has already missed five weeks due to tendinitis in
On Wednesday morning, the Detroit Tigers announced that outfielder Riley Greene has been moved to the 10-day injured list with a stress fracture of his left fibula. He was removed in the fifth inning of Tuesday’s game against the Texas Rangers with what was initially described as lower leg discomfort. There is no timetable for
Erie SeaWolves 11, Richmond Flying Squirrels 1 (box) I’m still unsure what happened to the Erie SeaWolves pitching staff this season, but it remains a hot mess down there even when a top prospect starter has a good game. Wilmer Flores tossed five innings of one-run ball with only a solo home run as the
The Detroit Tigers have done a fantastic job of exceeding expectations as the month of May wanes, leading into the dog days of summer. As of Monday afternoon, the Motor City Kitties were just two games under the .500 mark and a pair behind the American League Central-leading Minnesota Twins, who sit perched atop the
DETROIT — The sight of Miguel Cabrera rumbling around third base trying to score from second on a single on Tuesday night looked like a flashback. He was notorious for running through stop signs thrown up by third-base coaches during his younger, spryer years, but he hadn’t attempted to score from second this season, stop
The Tigers are selecting newly-acquired outfielder Jake Marisnick onto the major league roster, manager A.J. Hinch informed reporters (including Evan Woodbery of MLive). Detroit will announce corresponding moves tomorrow. The 40-man roster is at capacity, so they’ll either have to designate someone for assignment or place someone on the 60-day injured list. Detroit’s primary center fielder, Riley Greene,
Erie scored double-digit runs for the third time in their last four games in a series-opening blowout win in Richmond, 11-1. Erie started the scoring immediately in the first inning against Flying Squirrels’ starter Ryan Murphy. Trei Cruz had a leadoff walk. Wenceel Perez followed with a one-out double. Then, Erie scored double-digit runs for
