Listen, all the Detroit Tigers need is like six, maybe seven new players who can hit and play defense. Then it’s back to contention.

Akil Baddoo is not getting NEARLY enough national attention. He’s rocking a pretty sustainable 130 wRC+ as a rookie who basically missed two seasons and skipped the high minors altogether. It’s remarkable.

The Detroit Tigers are embarrassing. I don’t know how anyone can look at the product this year and think this is progress, or somehow part of a plan.

By my count there were 11 balls hit at Comerica Park that weren’t home runs in 2022 but would be with the new dimensions. Here they are:
36
60
465
Big leaguer Riley Greene with the double down the line. He’s now 7-for-17 this spring, with five extra-base hits.

29
420
Riley Greene is seeing 4.75 pitches per plate appearance this spring. Robbie Grossman led the Tigers last year with 4.21 P/PA.

My best estimate is that the new Comerica Park dimensions would add about 30-35 home runs to Miguel Cabrera’s career total. Here are the 8 balls since 2016 that probably would have been homers:

Reese Olson came into tonight’s game with the lowest run support in baseball. The Tigers have scored 3 runs for him this season, or 0.95 runs per 9IP.

This is the highest exit velocity for a Tigers hitter in the Statcast era. A 115.8 MPH missile off the bat of Riley Greene. It tops a 115.6 MPH Miguel Cabrera single back in 2015.

Here’s Riley Greene’s nice running catch from earlier today against the Pirates.

Tarik Skubal outings have reached must-see status. He’s one of the best pitchers in baseball, and he’s still just 25. He’s a year younger than Alex Faedo. Tigers fans should enjoy this.

The Tigers have lost 6 games in a row and have gone from 2 games out of first place to…3.5 games out of first place.

Tarik Skubal has 2 WAR through 9 starts. Here are all the Tigers pitchers who have done than since 2002:

This is a 110.6 MPH line out from Spencer Torkelson. That’s his 5th out this spring on a ball hit 105 MPH or harder.

346
The Tigers were absolutely awful for a month, but now they’re going on 2+ weeks of solid baseball.
Not sure if it’s improvement, the randomness of baseball, or something in between, but it sure is more enjoyable to watch.

338
Miguel Cabrera has the 5th lowest isolated power (.060) in baseball. He hit cleanup today, and there’s a strong argument he’s the Tigers best option for that. Fun season.

1975 Detroit Tigers - 20

The damndest thing about this Tigers team is that literally all of the off-season additions have been decent so far.
But somehow 90% of the other players forgot how to baseball.

Justyn-Henry Malloy with a bomb to right center to tie the game. It’s his first home run of the spring.

Kenta Maeda is a solid

Ugh, just brutal for José De León. Once upon a time he was a top prospect, but he hurt his arm in 2017 and he’s been struggling to find his footing ever since. This doesn’t look good.

Someone has probably already pointed this out, but…the longest home run hit by a Detroit Tiger in the Statcast era is 467 feet.
Colt Keith absolutely demolishes this ball for a 2-run homer. It’s his 2nd home run with Toledo and his 16th overall. How about 108.9 mph off the bat and 473 feet. 👀🐎💣

Tigers fans are free to dislike any deals the team signs, and are always encouraged to let their wallets do the talking.
But I feel like there’s probably going to be a bit too much focus on Javier Báez’s very real flaws, and not enough focus on some pretty remarkable skills.

Cash is 1 of 11 players in MLB history to hit 40+ home runs and bat .360 or better in the same season. And he’s 1 of just 5 to do it in the integration era (Bonds, Cash, Helton, Piazza, Walker)

At this point it’s in Nick Maton’s own best interest for the Tigers to send him to Toledo for a bit. He needs a mental reset.

Matt Manning deserves to be on the Tigers. But so do Casey Mize and Reese Olson.
In the end I think it came down to Manning allowing 6 home runs in 16 spring innings. Expect to see him back in Comerica very soon.

So barring something wild, Akil Baddoo finishes the year with the 4th best wRC+ by a Rule 5 pick since 2000.

Akil Baddoo 108
Jay Gibbons 106

I don’t know if Baddoo is ready for Triple-A. He barely played at High-A, and skipping right over Erie seems a bit aggressive. Recipe for disaster, IMO.
An update: Akil Baddoo is likely to have a rehab assignment in Toledo before he's activated.
