What's with Dusty?

What's with Dusty?


He's hitting .120 points higher than Matt Treanor, at least.

IBMC
It's actually a misprint:

Dusty Ryan: .720.


It's hard to hit 1.000 when you're also ridding the world of terrorism. Give the guy a break.

So Treanor is hurt and they call up Dane?

WTF?!?!?!??! Do the Tigers not like winning games?

As of June 11...

SINGLE A LAKELAND

Scott Green- 3-1, 3.92 ERA, 20 K, 10 BB


and I'm too lazy to look up Casey Crosby, Charlie Furbush, Brandon Hamilton and Jeff Gerbe's numbers...but there ya go

14 SB for Don Kelly?

Damn.

I like that we finally have options at catcher with Dusty/Avila

So... umm... why isn't Dusty in a Tiger's uniform?

Gerald Laird's arm/cooperation with pitchers

How about his butt/gut?

But I agree, he's been better than I thought he'd be when he's not in the batter's box.

I have no problem with Laird's defense. He's great back there. But that just makes it even more pointless that Dane is up. Dusty was a solid defensive catcher, and was hitting well last year. Why not split the time, or even give Laird 60% of the starts. I would bet that Dusty can develop into a better offensive threat that Laird.

Dusty gets more at bats in Toledo

Dusty gets more (meaningless) at bats in Toledo

Meaningless at bats >>> sit 4 games play 1

If he can help the Tigers win 1 out of every 4 games, then it's a lot more than he's helping them win right now.

I kind of think Dusty's being overrated a tad. This time last year he was a non-prospect just starting to hit a little.

Watch it...

I wouldn't mind seeing Dusty up here, but it wouldn't make sense if Laird were still to be the full-time catcher...

You better sleep with one eye open tonight...

In all honesty, I'm not expecting Dusty to come out and be an All-Star. I'm just thinking we're wasting time with Dane, Laird is a solid defensive catcher but bad in the box, and Dusty is young enough that he would be good to come out and learn while playing at the Major League level. He might even cause us to win some games that Sardinha would lose.

If he gets in and plays 2 to 3 games a week, that's better than facing Minor League pitching every day.

Dusty has alot of upside. Some prospects are late bloomers (Galarraga for example).

It's easy to see why Sardinha is here, since they want Dusty to get regular AB's, but the only issue is that why does it have to be Sardinha?

Paul Bako, Chad Moeller, Sal Fasano---all journeyman who make a living going from team-to-team playing as the #2 catcher. And all 3 of those guys, plus many more, are far more competent at the plate than Dane is.

Can you believe that Sardinha was once considered the next Johnny Bench when the Reds drafted him?

He is the 'Darko' of Cincinnatti. He never even got an AB for the Reds.

That's not really fair. At least Darko occasionally puts up decent numbers.

For the record, Scott Sizemore is our only representative in the Futures Games this week in St. Louis.

He might be the reason we don't re-sign Polanco after this year since both him and Will Rhymes are both having great seasons.

Just making sure - there's no relation to Grady, correct?

And how is Iorg hitting .222? Is this guy ever going to live up to the hype?

How did we get Zach Simons?

I think it was in a trade for some guy named Kyle, but I could be thinking of someone else....

detnews had an art. yesterday about dlugach (26) taking everett's spott and sizemore(24) taking polanco's.

no one cares about everett :emo: but how could we lose polanco?

How did we get Zach Simons?


Ha...i know but...We actually got him for the Cheese Man.
