Riley Greene

That's a big deal.

And the reason it's a big deal is because if he can prove that he is a better defender than Riley Greene, Or a good enough defender, at least to where he's a plus guy that you want in the lineup.

That will let the Tigers persevere with him with struggles against lefties, which I think is enormously important for Hope.

Now, where do you look at for improvement with the strikeouts? Well, you want to look at chase rate, whiff rate, in-zone swing rate, and strikeout rate as a whole.

So for now I'll just go triple, and I mean that as no disrespect.

I think Riley Greene's a really talented player, a really good hitter, a staple in the middle of the Tigers order for sure.

All right, someone we haven't talked about in a while, Matt Vierling.

Ooh.

Five doubles.

There's no way I gave out seven triples.

Riley Greene-

I have it tallied

All right, well, we've been taking a look at what the Tigers need to do in 2027, looking ahead, of course, after the CBA is all ironed out, the brand new one.

And we talked about Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson, whether or not we should keep them, offer them arbitration or whatever.

So the next two names that we're gonna take a look at today are Kerry Carpenter and Zach McKinstry, both eligible for arbitration again.

You got to start to think when it comes to the 40-man roster, the spots that the Tigers are going to need to give.

But, well, actually, he's going like a pick in front of Rafael Devers, who I know we have little likes for here.

But Riley Green goes 10 picks after him.

It's a ton of pitchers in this range, not a ton of outfielders.

Like, weirdly enough, a ton of pitchers in this range.

That just goes to show you how valuable he was in every other way, getting on base.

He was also one of the least lucky players as far as home runs are concerned, as well as Riley Green.

There were so many like warning track, you know, you know, warning track.

you know power you know out from him so um i think he finished with like 17 home runs uh look for him to you know jump over especially as he gets more physically you know because he's only you know 21 years old he's not

And then pops up when the season's over and there's no, you know, no pressure, you know, there's no low pressure situation.

So that's going to be the next adjustment he needs to make.

I think Riley Green did a really good job this year in some ways of, you know, cutting, you know, cutting down on some of the things that he was scrutinized about.

And that was great.

I mean, I'm kind of not really into a lot of the Tigers position players.

But, I mean, it's basically Max Clark, Riley Green, and just a whole lot of nothing in that third outfield spot.

So, I think he'll be up pretty soon.
