STANDINGS 30-21, #3 in the AL, 5.5 games behind KC, 9-5 in the last couple of weeks BAD NEWS -The inconsistency bug bit every SP this time around. -Kress had a couple of nice games but otherwise hit .227 for the month. Very very sad. He hasn't missed an all star game since becoming a starter in 1945 but he looks like a long shot to make the team this year unless he has a monster June. GOOD NEWS -Shame on me for not reporting this, but last month Perly hit his 2000th hit. He's currently at 2022 and is now #12 on the Career Leaderboard in HRs as well. -On 5/16 Dennis Kitterman was named Player of the Week for hitting .565, 5 RBI. -Kitterman (.382, 17R, 12RBI, 12BB), Kreitenberg (.358, 11R), Degal (.348, 8HR, 23RBI, 19R, 12BB), Mitchell (.326, 14RBI) & Coleman (.315, 20RBI, 20R, 22BB) all hit well. -Rollin Fish only hit .235 for the month but did have a few clutch hitting games to help us pull out wins and has only committed 1 error in 49 games so far this year. -Our young closer John Patterson has been sharp when Fite has used him (2-0, 4Sv, 1.88).

STANDINGS 38-28, #3 in the AL, 6 games behind NY, 8-7 in the last couple of weeks BAD NEWS -We had a chance to make up some ground but then were swept by the Yanks in our last three games.  -Again, our pitching staff has plagued with inconsistency. Ulrich was the worst 0-2, 7.07. Yuck. -Castaneda is struggling again... .191 in June so far. .259 OBP from our lead of man isn't going to cut it. -Zero HRs from Ray Kress... on a positive note, he did hit for a nice average. GOOD NEWS -John Nolting is back from the injured list. He pitched a shutout in his first game back. -On 6/6 John Degal was named Player of the Week for hitting .433, 4HR 9RBI. -Mitchell (.420), Kreitenberg (.413), Kitterman (.386), Degal (.383, 6HR), Kress (.350), Faulkner (.333) hit well. ROSTER CHANGE? -I haven't decided for sure, but I'm seriously considering giving Kreitenberg the starting spot at SS. It weakens us defensively some when it comes to backing up 2B and 1B, but Kreit deserves to start somewhere. Also, Castaneda has been too inconsistent and isn't the defensive stud that he used to be. AL TOP10 TIGERS AVG - Mitchell #3, Degal #5, Kitterman #6 SLG - Degal #2, Perly #6, Kitterman #10 HRs - Degal #1, Perly #4 RBI - Degal #1, Perly #3, Coleman #9 RUN - Degal #1, Kress #4 SBs - Kreitenberg #3, Kress #8 BBs - Kress #1 (leads by 23) WIN - Andrew #9 SVs - Patterson #7 Ks - Andrew #3

STANDINGS 43-35, #4 in the AL, 12 games behind NY, 5-7 in the last couple of weeks  BAD NEWS -Where to begin... at the risk of sounding like a broken record… Our pitching was inconsistant would be putting it mildly. -Bud Ulirch started the season 5-0, but went 0-6 in his last 10 games. He's had a few games where he had less run support than he's used to. However, in a lot of those 10 non-wins, he just flat out stunk. -Number of HRs by Kress for the entire month... 1. Total so far this season... 8. He seems to be going through the motions these days content to climb the Career Leaderboard in Walks. Come on Kress... Where's "The Boss", where's our on field leader... step up man. You did well AVG-wise this month, but where's that power hitting? -Perly didn't pick up any of the slack. He hit .180 for the month and a dismal .236 for the season. GOOD NEWS -Both Andrew and Wolfe finished the month with nice wins. -Kreitenberg (.374, 18R), Andrew (.368), Kitterman (.358, 20R), Mitchell (.348), Kress (.329, 35BB), Degal (.311, 25R, 25RBI, 8HR), Coleman (.301, 5HR, 25RBI) all hit well. ROSTER MOVES -We lost Mitchell in the last game of the month and that really suck as we have no decent hitting OF outside our starting 3. He's expected to be out a month and a half. Barring a trade I may have to call upon Cano. I wouldn't be screwing up his offensive developement because injuries have alread done that to him. However, the kid makes spectacular diving catches out there in RF and might spark some excitement with his defense alone. -Corky Stell wasn't happy about going down to the minors and objected big time when we informed him of the plan. But when a pitching coach / player option was mentioned, he reluctantly "did what's best for the team". HITTING THRU 6/30 Code:

Man if we can't score against Baum then our bats must have been truly asleep this game. Top CHI hitters were 2B Tony Seats (2 for 4, 2RBI, POG), Ferdinand Perez (2 for 4, 1R, 1RBI, 1BB, 1DBL), & C Joey Rustin (2 for 4, 1DBL). For us, Mike Kreitenberg went 3 for 4, 1RBI, 1BB.

Top KC hitter was 2B Ace Habermehl (2 for 4, 1DBL, 1HR). For us Dennis Kitterman went 1 for 4, 1HR. Jim Coleman went 1 for 4, 2RBI, 1DBL. Ray Kress had to leave late in the game as he broke an ankle running bases. He may or may not be back for the last week of the season. 7/9 KC @ DET: loss 0-5 Bud Ulrich (6-7, 3.81) gave up 4R (2ER) in 8IP for the loss. Jackie Bowen (14-5, 2.69) pitched 8.2 shutout innings for the win and POG.

Jim Coleman and Matt Perly both went 1 for 4, 1HR. Dirtbag Degal went 2 for 4, 1RBI. Dennis Kitterman went 2 for 4, 1R, 1RBI, 1TRPL. Kreit's hit streak ended today at 12. 7/12 ALLSTAR GAME: loss 4-14 We only had three all stars this year. Kreitenberg evidently didn't qualify and Mitchell was out with an injury, other wise both deserved a spot. Dirtbag Degal started at C and went 0 for 3. Jim Coleman got in late in the game at 3B and went 0 for 1. Dennis Kitterman had a PH sac fly for an RBI. Very nice that Kitt made it to this all star and contributed as he plans to retire at the end of the year. 7/15 DET @ CLE: WIN 6-4 Hal Andrew (13-9, 3.95) got the win giving up 4R in 8IP. John Pattterson came in for a save op, but left after 3 pitches. He's expected to miss 6 weeks due to an Inflamed Rotator Cuff Muscle. Sonny Faulkner finished out the 9th for his first career. Herm Labombard gave up 6R for the CG loss. Top CLE hitters were CF Andrew Vamos (2 for 4, 1HR), LF Paul Lett (1 for 4, 1R, 2RBI, 1HR) & RF Frank Winsett (1 for 4). For us, Mike Kreitenberg went 3 for 5, 1R. Mark Shirley went 1 for 3, 1DBL, 2RBI. John Cano went 0 for 2 but had 2 sac flys for 2RBIs. STANDINGS 50-38, #3 in the AL, 12 games behind the Yanks, 7-3 in the last 10 BAD NEWS -Kress is down for most and possibly all of the remainder of the season. If he's out for the durations, his 8HR will be his lowest total by far since '44. :cry: -Our young closer John Patterson is also out for about 6 weeks. -Perly continues to struggle hitting .161 for the month so far... actually most of our bats were too quiet this month. Kress and Kreit were our only starters hitting above .300. No one hit for more than 1HR so far this month. GOOD NEWS -Andrew (3-0, 3.00), Wolfe (1-0, 1.59), Ulrich (1-1, 1.06), Nolting (1-1, 2.78) all pitched well -Kreitenberg (.472, 9R), Kress (.333, 8BB) both hit well. -Coleman, Degal, Kitterman made this years all star team. Degal started. ROSTER MOVES -Closer: I'm not sure who I'm going to put here yet. I may have to put George here with Faulkner stepping into the primary setup roll. -LF: Cano will probably move here for his defense with Short getting some games in as well. -RF: Both Fite and Killbreath would play Perly in CF when ever the chips hit the fan. RF should be a piece of cake in comparison. Hopefully Mitchell will get heathy soon. I really don't have anyone in the minors worth bringing up yet and there are almost no OF worth grabbing in the free agent pool. Trade offers have not been favorable lately.

BAD NEWS -In the last couple of weeks, in all our losses (except for the two in NY), we either out hit our opponent or had the same number of hits. So yea, this last couple of weeks could have been a huge boost if we had been more efficient with those hits. Even so, we miss Mr.500 OBP guy bad when he's not in our lineup. -I think this last couple of weeks just about clinches the end to our pennant run as we just don't have the fire power to catch those Yanks this year. GOOD NEWS -Andrew (5-1, 2.32) & Nolting (4-1, 2.96) put up some nice efforts for the month. -Kreitenberg (.388, 22R), Kitterman (.314, 16R), Degal (.308, 18RBI) & Andrew (.300) were our top hitters for the month. -No new injuries to any more starters is a good thing. ROSTER MOVES -George Young was called up as we had no legit backup 1B since Kreit was dubbed a starter. -Mike Kreitenberg moved to 2B - he's clearly more comfortable there with 0 errors in 26 games. -Matt Perly was sent to the OF to fill in with injuries to Kress and Mitchell and to (hopefully) snap him out of his hitting slump. When Mitchell comes back, I will most likely move him to LF as Kress appears to be out for the entire year according to the latest estimates I've seen from the trainers. Perly will most likely stay in RF for a while as Kreitenberg is tearing shtuff up both offensively at lead off and defensively at 2B. -Magnus George got beat up pretty good in the closer role blowing 3 hold ops in a week, so we are going to audition a new "go to" guy this next month. It sure will be nice to have Patterson back. HITTING THRU 7/31 Code:

STANDINGS 65-52, #3 in the AL, 18 games behind NY, 7-7 in the last couple of weeks ROSTER MOVES -Isaac Mitchell is finally healthy and will replace Cano in LF. -John Cano will be sent back to Augusta-A to work on his plate discipline. -John Patterson should be in game shape in a few days and goes back to the closer role. -Luther Ormiston will be sent to the DFA to make room for Patterson. -Sonny Faulkner: We felt bad about sending this 20 game winner from last year to the pen. So to reward his success from last year, we are going to put Sonny back into the rotation as a fifth starter. If we were still in the race, we'd stick to the 4 man rotation, but since we are not, this allows us to get more of our pitchers some innings they would not normally get and keep our top four a little bit better rested (and hopefully injury free) as we look to next season a little early this year. BAD/GOOD NEWS -I ran out of time today, will try to make time for the monthly good/bad tomorrow.

We know that lead is insurmountable at this point, but we still want to finish the year knowing we fought hard to the end. -John Nolting struggled this month going 2-5, 4.66. -The guy who struggled the most this month has to be Sam Cole and his 12.71 era. GOOD NEWS -In the last two series, we went 4-2 (without Kress) vs the powerful Yanks... man if we were just a little bit younger and had a bit more depth you'd think we could make another go at it next year. -Our other starters were fairly solid with Bud Ulrich earning AL Pitcher of the Month for going 5-0, 2.56 and 1 shutout. -Castaneda (.357), Mitchell (.345), Kreitenberg (.343), Fish (.301, 6HR, 20RBI, 20BB) were our top hitters for the month. -Mitchell and Patterson both played well on their return from injury. Fite especially needs to let Patterson loose a little more now that he's shown he's healthy. HITTING THRU 8/31 Code:

BAD NEWS -Rollin Fish was injured and looks to be out for the remainder of the season. -Most of our team hit well so far this month, but Mitchell (.233) and Fish (.211) were not so hot. -Nolting got roughed up this month going 0-2, 6.17. GOOD NEWS -Andrew (1-0, 1.76) and Wolfe (2-1, 2.42) pitched well. -Kitterman (.435, 12R), Perly (.388, 4HR, 18RBI), Degal (.366, 4HR, 14R), Kreitenberg (.345, 11R) & Shirley (.308) were all hot. -There was no mention in the box scores, but Mike Kreitenberg is on a healthy hitting streak. He's for sure hit in all of his last 10 games. I'm not sure how much further back his hit streak goes. He's hitting .351 at this point in the season and is dominating the AL in SB despite only being a starter and hitting leadoff for a couple of months. PLAYER MOVES -Ray Kress will be activated from the DL although we are not yet sure if he'll be able to play in the final week or not. -We've offered a major league contract to Walter "Cool Water" Pond. We are looking to reload next year and if we end up trading a SP or two away for prospects then Pond could find him self back into the rotation next year assuming he doesn't retire. -Unfortunately, we forgot to take Ormiston off the DFA, he refused assignment and had to be released. I should have put him back on the roster when the roster expanded in September so he could finish out the year on our bench rather than sitting in limbo as a free agent. Ormiston's talent plummet was shocking and very hard to watch, but we'll remember him more for his clutch hitting. He was definitely a key piece to the Tiger puzzle for the last several years.

Team W L PCT GB Code:
New York 107 47 .695 - Kansas City 96 58 .623 11.0 Detroit 88 66 .571 19.0 Baltimore 82 72 .532 25.0 Cleveland 69 85 .448 38.0 Boston 64 90 .416 43.0 Chicago 57 97 .370 50.0 Washington 53 101 .344 54.0 BAD NEWS -Finished 3rd in the AL. -John Nolting finished 11-12... well below what we expected from our new Ace when we traded for him. We gave up a promising young SP prospect to get him so that adds insult to injury as we look to rebuild in the next few seasons. -Other than our closer John Patterson, our bullpen got beat up pretty bad for most of the year. Our starters had bouts of inconsistency as well, but the ERA & WHIP numbers of our bull pen were flat out bad. GOOD NEWS -On 9/26 David Castaneda was named Player of the Week for hitting .550, 3HR, 6RBI. -Ray Kress looked healthy in that final game and should be refreshed / ready to go next spring training. -John Patterson looked comfortable moving up to the closer role. Now if he can just stay healthy, he should be a very good one for many years go come. -Hal Andrew had an up and down year, but finished as our best starter going 20-11, 3.60. Roy Wolfe wasn't too far behind going 18-14, 3.69. -Dennis Kitterman claims this is his last season despite having one of the best seasons of his career. He finished the season hitting .339 w/ 94R. His career total: .319, 1981 H, 1108 R, 787 RBI, 119 HR, 101 SB, 770 BB, 223 DBL, 95 TRPL, 3 allstar appearances, 5 World Series wins. I'm a bit surprised at no gold gloves - like Ray Kress, Dennis has one of the most reliable gloves at his position.

1957 OFFSEASON
RETIRED Corky Stell - will comment on my big retirees when I'm at a computer that has their player pages available Dennis Kitterman - TRADE1 We traded to Boston: C John Dirtbag Degal, IF Mike Kreitenberg, and our 3rd round pick. We got from them: 3B/C Ben Lutske, RF Jack Caufield, 1B Rye Allen, 2B Luke Logan and their 1st round pick. TRADE2 - had one other trade I thought was going to give us the depth to help us field a winning team this year, but at the moment it appears to be dead in the water. C/3B Ben Lutske - Ben started at Catcher for Boston last year. He'll likely start at 3B as a Tiger until either Camacho is ready for prime time which will (hopefully) be soon or until we can get that 3B we were hoping for via trade. Gale Adams (who backed up Degal for us last year) is more than competent behind the plate and will keep Ben's spot warm. The bottom line is we really have no one that can competently cover 3B and bat with any kind of skill. Hopefully Ben will enjoy the extra at bats until we can return him behind the plate. We like Ben's HR potential and his ability to hit to the gaps. He'll probably bat somewhere around 5th in the lineup. 1B Rye Allen - Rye is a nice power hitting 1B prospect. At 21 he already hits for more power than a lot of our active roster. I'm hoping he puts a serious challenge to Coleman for that 1B spot in a year or two. Not only does Rye have serious HR potential, but he also has a reliable glove at 1B. He finished last season in AA, but we hope that he has a strong spring training and earns the 1B spot at Buffalo-AAA. LF/RF Jack Caufield - This 22 y/o lefty is yet another power hitting prospect. He should be a better all around hitter than Rye with nearly as much power. He looks best at RF and has a good arm there in the OF. He's not overly fast and his defensive range in LF is lacking a bit. He finished last season in AA, but I'm hoping he has a good spring training and earns the RF spot at Buffalo-AAA. 2B Luke Logan - Yet another AA guy who's could step up to AAA this year. He's got very nice range at 2B. He's also fast and should be a good OBP guy as he is has an awesome eye for drawing walks. He doesn't have any power hitting potential and can't bunt to save his life so it's lead off or bottom of the lineup for this guy. Hopefully he'll exceed our scouts expectations in contact hitting and become that solid leadoff guy that we lost when we traded Kreitenberg away. 1957 DRAFT 1R5 - SP Randy Bazer - We were so very much tempted at taking 2B Clarence Gaines at this spot, but we only saw 1 SP in the draft that we really liked. Randy was that guy and we didn't expect him to be around at pick 11. He's a very good all around talent who (at 22) is only a year or two away from the majors. He's got a 96MPH fastball. He's also been known as a great leader. He doesn't have much defensive range or as much endurance as we'd like, but otherwise could be an top starter in a few years. He'll likely be the ace of Buffalo-AAA. 1R11 - 3B Nestor "Nasty" Camacho - Nasty is a solid contact hitting 3B. He's also got decent power to the gaps and decent HR potential. He's a bit on the average side defensively, but can cover 2B & SS in a pinch. Despite being only 18 his bat is nearly developed enough that he could step in at 3B if we had a critical injury to Lutske or Adams. We'd prefer to leave him in the minors for a year or two. But if he were to have an a good spring training, it could change our post trade lineup plans. He will most likely start at 3B for Buffalo-AAA. 2R11 - C Will Hundley - Unfortunately Warren Pope and Tom Allen were nabbed. He had hoped one of these guys would fall to us. Given how short we are on young C prospects we went ahead and went with the best catcher available. Will is very solid in every way except for the fact that he's a slow runner and has had injury problems in the past. He's decent defensively and has a good arm for throwing out runners. At 18, he has a long way to go before he's ready for the bigs. He'll almost certainly start at C at Augusta-A. 4R11 - MR Jay Wilson - We traded away our 3rd round pick so Jay was our next pick in the draft. He's a MR who relies on the strikeout. His control and movement on his pitches is somewhat lacking, so it remains to be seen if he will ever make a major league roster. His control is especially under developed for a 21 y/o, so I'm not holding my breath on this guy. On a positive note, he does regularly throw 94mph and has some of the best defensive instincts I've ever seen on the mound... phenomenal range and almost never commits an error. He'll almost certainly be throwing to Hundley at Augusta-A. Between the trade and this draft, we hope to see our Farm System rating jump up considerably. We were rated dead last at the end of last season with Knox being our only legit "rated" prospect. Coming up next.... spring training. I'm so very curious to see how the new guys and the draftees sort out after a full spring training.

Hey Michael, it's been great reading this thread tracking Mike Kreitenberg's career and I'm sad to see his Tiger's career come to an end (for now????) hehe. I guess I won't really be reading this thread that much anymore but I can say it was a pleasure. Keep up the good work and good luck rebuilding. You've definitely got the prospects to do some damage in a few years.

Thanks. And yea, I really hated trading Mike. I think he'll up some decent numbers in Boston and if they can work on getting some pitching next, they should start winning some ball games.
Personally, I'd love to see a wide open AL for a while. Things can get kinda boring for the fans when the same couple of teams beat on the league year after year after year. Rebuilding is hard especially when you are a big fan of the few guys on your team with any real trade value. It'll probably take a while, but hopefully the Tigers will claw their way back into contention quicker than people expect. I went from the "dead last by far" farm system to into the top 7 with one draft and one trade. So, I at least have that to feel good about.

1957 SPRING TRAINING
-No big news this spring training. We got some positive feedback on a lot of our young players and most of our old guys maintained. Really no serious ups or downs on anyone that I can tell at the moment. POST SPRING TRAINING TRADE -We've sent Bud Ulrich to Baltimore for a nice SP prospect Bill Lovely and an interesting 3B/2B Larry Long. Bill will start the season at Buffalo-AAA and Larry will start at 3B at LittleRock-AA. Bill Lovely looks to be a pitcher who relies on his excellent control. At 24, he already rivals that of Roy Wolfe and John Nolting in that ability. He should also be a decent strike out pitcher if he develops into the player we for see in him. I just worry about the lack of movement on his fastball. He's going to give up some dingers when he pitches in Tiger Stadium. But hopefully most of them will just be solo shots as he should be very good at not loading the bases up with walks. Larry Long reminds me of a young Luther Ormistion. Only with more speed, but less eye for drawing walks. Larry is decent defensively at 3B and can cover 2B in a pinch. He's got a strong arm. He may not be starter material right away, but he should be at the very least a competent backup and a scary PH to bring in with runners on base as he has excellent GAP and HR hitting potential. DEPTH CHART C - 30yo Gale Adams should get the majority of starts for now. He hit .209 last year with 10 HR in 187 at bats but we hope to see him improve on those number quite a bit if given consistent at bats. He didn't get much PT as we really relied on Dirtbag Degal to carry our offense last year especially with two-thirds of our OF out for a good chunk of the year. Gale was been a consistent hitter in AAA the last several years. In '55 he hit .329, 40HR, 116RBI. C - 28yo Lonnie Jolly is pretty much on our active roster because we don't have a better option right now. He's a decent defensive catcher who had a nice arm for throwing out runners. He'll get most of his at bats against LHP. But if we get another 3B or C, Jolly will be the first guy sent down. Our 18 y/o 2nd round pick Will Hundley could pass Jolly talent wise in a year or two if all goes well. C - 18yo Will Hundley (starting for Augusta-A) was our 2nd round pick of this year and looks to be a all around decent hitter. Like Lonnie and Gale, he's also very competent behind the plate with a good throwing arm. He shows some serious leadership skills which I think is very important behind the plate. The biggest knocks on him are that he's been injury prone and has little base running speed. 1B - 33yo Jim Coleman takes over for a retired Kitterman at 1B. Jim is a solid hitter with nice power to the gaps and also has some HR pop. He started for us at 3B last year but did so with very little range. Jim is much more solid at 1B defensively. He hit .301, 23HR, 106RBI last year in 145 games. Hopefully he'll stay healthy and help Kress get on the career leaderboard in runs. 1B - 32yo George "The Instigator" Young has returned to backup 1B. He's not much of a hitter as injuries and lack of starting time in the majors have seriously eroded his skills. But he's very solid defensively and does hit with power when he does hit. 1B - 21yo Rye Allen honestly should be backing up 1B instead of Young when you look at their current skill level. We picked him up in the Degal trade this year and sent him to LittleRock-AA to work on be his contact. Rye is solid defensively and has excellent power hitting potential. We really don't want to rush him as he needs at bats to grow as a hitter and there is little chance of him unseating Coleman quite yet. 2B - 34yo Matt "The Whale" Perly returns to his preferred position. He spent a good part of last season at RF due to injuries to our OF. Last year was not good for Perly as he hit a dismal .259 and only managed 29HR in 144 games. Hopefully, he'll be more comfortable back at 2B and has a solid rebound year left in him. Matt is on the Career Leaderboards in HR (#11) & RBI (#24). 2B - 26yo Mark Shirley will be backing up 2B, SS, & 3B until Nasty Camacho or Luke Logan are ready for call up. Shirley can also cover CF and RF. Mark hit .196, 29R, 13SB last year. He's always a threat to steal when on base but isn't a good enough hitter to stay in the majors very long as anything other than a versatile glove and PR type. 2B - 21yo Luke Logan (starting 2B at Buffalo-AAA) was another Degal trade pickup. He's has excellent range at 2B and good speed. He looks to be a decent contact hitter, but his bread and butter will be drawing walks and stealing bases. He has no HR potential and can't bunt to save his life. But we see him as our future at 2B hitting lead off when Perly looks like he's ready to leave the starting lineup. SS - 35yo Dave Castaneda is still very good at drawing walks and a decent contact hitter. Other than maybe Kress, Dave is pretty much our only decent leadoff option after trading away Mike Kreitenberg. We hope he can hold down the fort for a couple more season as we have no rock solid SS prospects in our minor leagues at the moment. Dave had a solid year at the plate last year hitting .301 in 137 games but his other numbers were down a bit after being displaced as our leadoff hitter by Kreitenberg. Now that he's back to lead off we hope to see him reach triple digits in walks again this year. SS - 34yo Joe Starling is pretty much a defensive replacement as Shirly is getting most of the backup minutes right now. Joe is slow, injury prone and not a very good hitter. But he's a better defensive option than Shirley when we need to close out an inning late in a game. SS - 32yo Elroy Lundberg (starting SS at Buffalo-AAA) continues to tease with half way decent contact hitting potential and a good eye, but doesn't ever seem to want to reach his full potential. He's a decent hitter to the gaps on a good day. He's slow and isn't all that hot defensively, but would be called up to start SS if Castaneda went down with a long term injury. We really need to focus on getting a good SS in the next draft or two. 3B - 33yo Ben Lutske is starting at 3B for now. He's very solid there defensively with a strong arm. He's hits to the gap well and has equal HR talent. He hit .259 for Boston last year. He also hit 17HR which was near a career high for him. But we hope to see him destroy that career high of 19 hitting playing in Tiger stadium and getting the extra at bats he'll get playing 3B. He would slide back to a starting C spot if Nasty Camacho prove that he deserves to start at 3B. 3B - 19yo Nestor "Nasty" Camacho (starting 3B at Buffalo) is next in line at 3B. He was the 11th overall pick in this last draft. Nasty should be a consistent contact hitter with decent gap and HR power. He's a half way decent 3B defensively and can cover SS & 2B in a pinch. He's very well developed for his age and will hopefully earn a spot on our active roster fairly soon. 3B - 24yo Larry Long (starting 3B at LittleRock-AA) was picked up in the Ulrich trade at the end of spring training. He is faster than Nestor and has more power hitting potential, but doesn't look to be nearly as developed or have as much contact hitting potential. He should be a scary PH option when we have guys on base and should be able to backup both 3B & 2B. LF - 37yo Ray "The Boss" Kress missed half of last year with a broken ankle returning only for the very last game of the season. He's an awesome contact hitter with excellent power when pitchers actually throw him something hittable. Unfortunately he's spent much of the last couple of seasons drawing a ton of walks. We worked with him in spring training to focus on being more active at the plate, but who knows if he will get back to the 40+ HR potential. With Degal gone we need Kress' heavy bat to pick up the slack. Last year's .281 in 80 games was an extreme low point of his career thus far. He's a career .334, .466OBP hitter. On the Career Leaderboards, he's #22 in AVG, #2 in HR, #5 in walks. He's also knocking on the door in runs and RBIs. But we need the old Kress back for him to accomplish those. LF - 33yo Pete Short only hit .189 in 93 games last year, but is really on our club for his gold glove quality defense at all OF spots. LF - 24yo Kurt "Knuckles" Knox (starting LF at Augusta-A) is a decent contact hitting lefty with nice HR power potential. He's got a decent glove in LF and RF. He seems to be progressing slowly but surely. Hopefully he'll earn a promotion to AA soon. CF - 35yo Rollin Fish hit .253, 23HR, 80RBI. That's a fairly normal season for him offensively. He's got good speed and is a very good OF defensively anywhere in the OF. He's consistent and at times clutch. He's been start in CF since '49 and it doesn't look like he'll be displace anytime real soon. CF - Pete Short, see above CF - 22yo Lester Finley (starting CF at Augusta-A) looks to be similar in talent as Fish on offense... basically just a decent all around hitter with a little bit of foot speed. He's not as versatile or have anywhere near Fish's range. Lester isn't exactly my ideal CF, but is the best we've got in the minors right now. He could cover RF in a pinch as well. RF - 33yo Isaac Mitchell is a straight up contact hitter. He'll occasionally surprise you with an HR, but is really a singles and doubles hitter. He's an aggressive swinger - doesn't draw a lot of walks. He's got a solid glove but not much range defensively. He hit .337 last year but only managed 110 games due to injury. He's a .300 career hitter who has no threat of losing his job this year. RF - Pete Short, see above RF 22yo Jack "Big Brother" Caufield (starting RF at LittleRock-AA) is another key piece to the Degal trade. He has the potential to be a much better OBP guy than Mitchell due to having a bit more patience at the plate and he has a ton more HR power potential. He's got an error free glove in RF, an excellent arm and decent range. I'm hoping he earns a promotion to AAA before the end of the year. SP - 35yo John "Notch" Nolting looks to be our ace this year. Good stuff, excellent control and movement, 96mph fastball, good at holding runners. He didn't look comfortable in his Tiger uniform last year and missed some starts with an injury. We are hoping for a rebound year out of him. Otherwise, he'll quickly become trade bait. SP - 36yo Hal Andrew has taken a few talent dings recently. He finished last year 20-11, 3.60. He's #18 on the Career Leaderboard in strikeouts. He uses his slow fastball, change up, and slider well enough to consistently make it into the top 10 in Ks each year. He's gone from ace to our #2. SP - 35yo Roy Wolfe relies on his good control and strikeout ability to keep him self out of trouble. Like Hal, he doesn't throw very hard. He's a high endurance pitcher who finished last year 18-14, 3.69. Off pace from his last two seasons, but still a solid #3 pitcher. SP - 37yo Sonny Faulkner replaces Ulrich as our #4 starter. He's like Wolfe in that he's a control pitcher with decent stuff. A little less endurance but a much harder thrower. The movement on his pitches has really dropped making him a big threat to give up HRs. But really not a bad guy to roll out there as your #4. SP - 35you Walter Pond is next in line. He won't strike folks out much, but he's still got some of that consistency, control, and movement on his pitches that make him a decent #4 option if anything were to happen to anyone in my current rotation. CL - 23yo John Patterson also missed a lot of games last year due to injury. He has phenomenal control, throws hard, is excellent at holding runners and has a lot of movement on his pitches. He's consistent and clutch. He has just about everything you can ask for in a closer. Not bad for someone so young. Oh yea and he's a MI native giving the home fans extra incentive to see him sprint out from the BP. SP - 23yo Randy "Can't Faze" Bazer (SP for Buffalo-AAA) was the 5th pick in the last draft. He's a hard thrower. Excellent stuff with good control and movement. He has no defensive range so any line drive up the middle is sure to go through. But otherwise a very good pitching prospect. SP - 24yo Bill Lovely is the key piece of the Ulrich trade. He's one of the top 3 rated SP prospects. He's a decent all around pitcher with awesome control. His control exceed even Wolfe and Nolting at the moment. He's starting for Buffalo-AAA. But I could see him being called up and inserted into the rotation this year if we decide we need to trade another vet. Like Wolfe and Faulkner we worry about him giving up dingers in Tiger stadium due to less than stellar movement on his pitches, but hopefully his excellent control and good stuff will keep runners off base and thus limit the inevitable HRs to solo shots.

Unfortunately Andrew gave up a couple more walks as well as an HR. STANDINGS 3-7, 6th in the AL, 5.5 games behind KC BAD NEWS -I've underestimated how much my team has dropped off and how much the rest of the league has gotten better. I had hoped to carry forward at least 3 of my 4 SP from last season and remain competitive. But looking at the talent on the teams ahead of us in the standings makes me realize that even a winning season is looking doubtful. I'm not ready to panic yet, but I may have to listen to offers for Nolting if people are willing to make them. It seems like he has the talent to help a contending team. He certainly doesn't seem to like pitching in Detroit. -Ray Kress: .125, 0HR, 0RBI and most of our other hitters aren't doing much better. -Our prized prospect from this years draft Randy Bazer was injured and expected to miss a couple of weeks due to a sore back. We've worked hard to turn our farm system from dead last to (now) 3rd in the league... I know a lot of prospects never reach their potential, but Randy is one of those guys we are betting a lot on. So hopefully this is just one little early hickup and not a sign of things to come from him. GOOD NEWS -Matt Perly: .375, 4HR, 14RBI. He was our only consistent hitter in the last couple of weeks. -Roy Wolfe: 2-0, 2.25 has started out hot. -At 19 Nestor "Nasty" Camacho is already tearing it up in Buffalo-AAA. .390, 7R is a nice start.

For us, Ben Lutske went 2 for 4, 1HR. Rollin Fish went 1 for 2, 1HR. Jim Coleman went 1 for 4, 1R, 3RBI, 1HR. STANDINGS 13-11, #4 in the AL, 4 games behind KC, 10-4 in the last two weeks BAD NEWS -Andrew (4.35), Faulkner (5.24), Nolting (4.91) - not good numbers for our vet starters -Kress (.130), Mitchell (.155), Lutske (.215) also had a rough month. -Castaneda was one of the few hitters playing consistent ball but was lost to injury and is expected to miss another 2 weeks. GOOD NEWS -Roy Wolfe (5-1, 2.10) is pitching well and just barely missed out on Pitcher of the Month. -John Patterson has been a busy guy leading the AL in games (16) and saves (8). -Matt Perly (.311, 7HR, 20RBI) has been our top hitters. Coleman is only hitting (.247) but is at least hitting for power (6HR, 19RBI). ROSTER MOVES -With Castaneda out we need another SS on our active roster as Fite has no confidence in Joe Starling. Mark Shirey has been covering SS, but that leaves us no backup at 2B or 3B. Our choices for call up are Elroy Lundberg or Nasty Camacho. I really REALLY hate the idea of rushing Nasty, but the 19yo is by far the best hitter at Buffalo-AAA right now. HITTING THRU 4/30 Code:

Why is Fite using our Patterson when we are down? Give the kid a break... save him for when we are winning... he is a setup guy and closer for hecks sake. We do have other guys in the BP.

I thought I had FTP'd roster updates, but obviously it hadn't worked as Fite had Perly playing SS and hitting leadoff while Shirely played 2B for several games at the beginning of the month. Perly is a natural 2B, Shirely is rated at SS, so this made absolutely no sense at all. Meanwhile Starling got 0 PT despite the fact he can backup 2B, SS & 3B. But Starlings hitting ratings have taken a heavy blow due to lack of use, so I can see why Fite didn't want to play him. Still, there were some terrible AI decisions during that early month losing streak. For the 5/15 THU 5/31 SIM I swapped Walter Pond into the #4 spot in the rotation to see if he could do better than Faulkner who was clearly our worst starter through the first month. 5/16 DET @ WSH: WIN 3-1 Hal Andrew got the win and POG giving up just 1R in 8IP. John Patterson pitched another hitless 9th for his 12th save. John Burg (1-6, 3.79) gave up just 3R in the CG loss. Top WSH hitters were LF Bob Finley (1 for 3, 1HR) & SS Walt Mayotte (1 for 2, 1DBL). For us, Gale Adams went 2 for 4, 1RBI. 5/17 DET @ WSH: loss 0-5 Roy Wolfe gave up 5R for a CG loss. Van Melbourn (1-0, 1.33) pitched a CG shutout win for POG. Top WSH hitters were 1B Leo Emig (2 for 4, 1R, 2RBI, 1HR), 2B Sean Lee (2 for 4, 1R, 2RBI, 1HR) & RF Will Griffin (2 for 4).

John Patterson pitched a scoreless 9th for his 13th save. Lukas Dietrich (2-5, 4.24) gave up 2R in 6.2IP for the loss.

Top BAL hitters were 1B Dave Lawrence (3 for 4, 1R, 2RBI, 1HR) & CF Mike Maginnis (2 for 4). For us, Dave Castaneda went 2 for 3, 1R, 1RBI, 1BB. We were held to 4 hits... darn those ex-Tigers.  5/22 BAL @ DET: WIN 16-6 Roy Wolfe (7-4, 3.66) got the CG win despite givign up 6R. Jack Garvin (5-3, 3.92) gave up 8R in the first 1.2IP for the loss. Top BAL hitters were RF Pete Pugliese (3 for 4, 1R, 2RBI, 1TRPL) & 1B Tom Kruyt (2 for 3).

Ray Kress went 1 for 3, 1BB, 1HR. Ben Lutske had to leave the game early due to a shoulder strain he suffered throwing from 3B. He'll be day2day for about a week. STANDINGS 27-24, #3 in the AL, 11.5 games behind KC, 14-13 in May BAD NEWS -We played terrible against NY & KC. They are better teams, I'm not denying that, but especially the last series against KC, we got spanked. -Only 2 hitters hit above .300. -All of our starters are hot and cold... no one did better than a 3.81 era. GOOD NEWS -Ray Kress had the best month we've seen from him in a very long while (.427, 8HR, 20RBI, 17R, 22BB). -Dave Castaneda was also hot after coming back from injury hitting .338. -John Patterson followed his 8 save April month with a 7 save month of May. He's getting the job done during save ops, but Fite uses him too much at times even during games where we are losing by 3 or more. Not good Fite, don't burn the kid out. ROSTER MOVES -Joe Starling has regressed to the point where he is useless on our active roster. For sure I'll have to call up a better backup SS. I'll probably play it safe and go with Lundberg for now. Nasty Camacho is recovering from an injury and like I mentioned before is a 19yo rookie we do not want to rush. -Pond has been hot and cold just like Faulkner, but I want to give him the same month and a half I gave Faulkner before I decide who to keep at that #4 slot.

For us, Isaac Mitchell went 2 for 4, 1R. Mark Shirley went 2 for 4, 1RBI, 1SB filling in at 2B as Fite has gone against my depth chart AGAIN and moved Perly to SS and leadoff. Then again, Perly seems to be handling SS with a range almost equal to what he's doing at 2B, so maybe it's not such a terrible move (just hope he doesn't end up with a rating of 1 like what happened to him at RF). 6/11 DET @ CLE: loss 1-2 Hal Andrew (6-8, 3.90) got the CG loss giving up just 2R.

For us, Jim Coleman went 3 for 4, 2R, 2RBI, 1DBL, 1HR. Isaac Mitchell went 2 for 4. STANDINGS 33-33, #3 in the AL, 5-9 in the last couple of weeks BAD NEWS -Castaneda got hurt again and Fite continues to make strange lineup changes even with the addition of Eric Lundberg. Eric hit .304 when given a chance to start, but Fite continues to defy my depth chart more often than not and over work Perly out of position. I don't see as I have any choice but to promote Nasty Camacho to give Fite another badly needed IF bat. -We had several bad reports from our trainers and no good ones. Hopefully this is just a fluke as we'd like to see some of our prospects step up and earn promotions. "Nestor Camacho has lost some power" is probably the most ominous of them all. Despite the report he continues to hit very well in AAA so maybe he's just bored and a call up will do him some good. Finley's report was also very disappointing. He went from a decent hitting prospect to barely average. Finley has been up and down so hopefully his bat will rebound as well. -Hal Andrew (1-3, 5.26), Roy Wolfe (1-2, 4.13) & Magnus George (0-1, 27.01) had a rough couple of weeks. GOOD NEWS -Castaneda (.353), Kress (.340, 7RBI, 7BB), Mitchell (.333, 6R) & Lundberg (.304, 5R) all hit well. -Walter Pond (2-0, 2.73) was our top pitcher for the first half of the month. I've got a AAA pitcher that I may bring up soon. But Pond is making a case for deserving the #4 slot at the moment. -Kurt Knox is showing improvement and could earn a promotion to AA soon. AL TOP10 TIGERS OBP - Kress #4 DBL - Coleman #5 HR - Coleman #6 RBI - Coleman #4 SB - Shirley #5 BB - Kress #1 SVs - Patterson #1 Ks - Andrew #6, Nolting #7 ERA - Wolfe #9 CAREER LEADERBOARD AVG - Kress #22 HR - Kress #2, Perly #9, Ormiston #23 RBI - Perly #19 (stop moving him to lead off Fite!!!!!) BB - Kress #5 Ks - Andrew #14

If I make John strictly a closer he doesn't get enough innings. If I dub him the closer and #2 reliever he pitches almost every day under just about any circumstance while the rest of our BP sits. I just can't seem to find any balance. Roosevelt Wurth (3-2, 4.56) gave up just 3R in 8IP for the win and POG. He also hit Isaac Mitchell in the hand with a pitch knocking him out for a week or two.

STANDINGS 41-37, #3 in the AL, 12 games behind KC, 7-4 in the last couple of weeks BAD NEWS -Isaac Mitchell is hurt, out for about a week which means some more lineup changes but probably no roster changes unless he ends up being out longer than expected. -Hal Andrew is also injured and will be day to day for the nearly 2 months. He'll have to be moved to the #4 slot and Faulkner will be assigned as his Spot Starter. -Perly (.184) & Adams (.218) had a disappointing month. -Andrew (2-3, 5.36) was our worst starter for June. -Patterson got roughed up a couple of times this month and only recorded 4 saves, but he was badly overworked. GOOD NEWS -Walter Pond was named June AL Pitcher of the Month (4-0, 3.25, 7GS). -Nasty Camacho was our top hitter and also came through in the clutch a couple of times. His .391, 3HR, 8RBI, 9R in 11 games was huge despite hitting from the bottom of the lineup. He's only played in 11 games and yet is on an 11 game hit streak meaning he's never had an "0 for" night yet as a major leaguer. Very impressive for a 19 yo rook thrown to the wolves earlier than expected due to Castaneda's injury. -Coleman (.320, 7HR, 19RBI, 17R), Kress (.319, 5HR, 14RBI, 13R, 21BB), Mitchell (.301) also hit well this month.

Ben Lutske went 1 for 3, 1HR. STANDINGS 54-49, 3rd in the AL, 14 games behind KC, 13-12 in July BAD NEWS -Andrew is still hurting and will be for a few more weeks. Faulkner will contine to spot start on the day's that Andrew can't go. -Not one Tiger hitter hit .290 or better for the month of July. Hal Andrew was our top hitter going .286. GOOD NEWS -Tiger Allstars: LF Ray Kress, P John Nolting, P Roy Wolfe -Roy Wolfe (3-3, 2.75) & John Nolting (4-1, 2.31) had a decent month. Just wish we would have given them more run support. -John Patterson tied Tigers single season saves record. Tied with a retired Lloyd Wyman at 24. Given that we have nearly two months left, that record should be shattered and then some if John can stay healthy. -Bill Lovely is so close to a promotion. If one of our rotation goes "out" with an injury or is traded, Bill would be a shoe in to see some major league hitters this season. -Kurt Knox is working with Ormiston to try to earn his promotion to AA before the end of the season and our scouts are telling me Jack Caufield is very close to being AAA material. ROSTER MOVES -A healthy Dave Castaneda will go back to starting at SS and hitting leadoff. -19yo Nasty Camacho has earned the right to stay in the lineup, but he will slide over to 3B and hit at the bottom of the order where he looked much more comfortable earlier in the month during his 13 game hit streak. -Ben Lutske will go back to his familiar role as a catcher starting against RHP. Adams will continue to start at C vs LHP. -A healthy Isaac Mitchell will go back to full time starter in RF. -We don't want to carry 3 catchers so Jolly will most likely be sent down to allow us to call up another OF glove.
