Riley Greene Is Not Getting Enough Attention - Tigers Minor League Report

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene is having a season for the ages, and not enough fans seem to recognize that.

Riley Greene Is Not Getting Enough Attention.
TMLR

Colt Keith since 5/4:
306/352/500 1.2 WAR 852 OPS 138 wRC+ (#42 in MLB) 194 ISO 4 HR 20 RBI.

Team OPS is High Leverage.

Riley Greene now at 3.1 WAR Zach McKinstry at 2.7 WAR. The idea Z-Mac could be a 4.5 WAR player is just astounding.

Greene and Báez join Magglio Ordoñez (2007), Chet Lemon (1984), Ron LeFlore (1976), and Rusty Staub (1976) as Tigers outfielders to earn a fan-elected start. Torres joins Lou Whitaker (1984-86) and Placido Polanco (2007) as Tigers second basemen to earn fan elections.

Zach McKinstry has a .349 batting average since the start of June, which is tied for 6th among all MLB hitters over that span.

A.J. Hinch after game one of yesterday's doubleheader: "I'm pretty much President of the Zach McKinstry Fan Club..."

Could Tarik Skubal join Clayton Kershaw in the 3,000-strikeout club?

The Tigers' ace may be among the most likely active pitchers to hit the historic mark.

McGonigle is crushing the ball. His offense is so much more impressive than Clark. They both have 7 HRs but McGonigle has more extra base hits in less than 1/2 of the plate appearances. I wonder if he is good enough defensively to stay at SS?

 

[biggunsbob]

Do not sell Clark short. He walks at a high rate and scouts say he mlb ready for center field defense also. I agree Kevin has a better bat now . I sure hope they both make it. He steals bases too. Something we do not do well.

[nydo77]

Throw more strikes.....

 

[biggunsbob]

Well crap this guy blows.
Harris needs to find pitching.

 

[jas5lf]

Enns shitting the bed now.

 

[nydo77]

At least there is time to come back, if he gets things together.

 

[biggunsbob]

Ennis was embarrassing.

 

[biggunsbob]

Parker has to start hitting. He is just a black hole at the plate.

Missing all of spring training and then some didn't help there.

 

[biggunsbob]

Pull this guy. He isn’t very good.

 

[biggunsbob]

Missing all of spring training and then some didn't help there.

Those excuses only last so long. We keep saying that. We really need him to hit.

 

[kalinecountry]

Well this went down hill in a hurry. Is this guy Enns throwing a lot of changups like the other guy did?

 

[biggunsbob]

Frustrating.

 

[gotime909]

I still don't get why montero isnt starting for us.

 

[biggunsbob]

AJ.
You have to pull this guy .

 

[biggunsbob]

I’ve seen enough to know that Montero is better.
