Tigers third at BP’s power ranking
posted in Power rankings |Hey, I didn’t know Baseball Prospective even had power ratings. I’m thinking of picking up a subscription so I thought I’d explore some, thus the posts today. BP ranked Detroit third behind New York and, well, New York, in the rankings of June 11th.
Joe Sheehan compares them to last year’s upstart Sox and finds strong similarities on the hill, in the field, and at the plate. Good: the Tigers steal the best player in the draft in Andrew Miller; rookie Zach Miner fills in for injured Mike Maroth and subdues the Blue Jays. Bad: the bullpen gets torched for eight runs. Ugly: aside from Marcus Thames (.333/.359/.806), the team is hitting just .247/.307/.367 in June, with a ghastly K/BB ratio of 82/26.
I left the links in for those interested who haven’t explored either. Most offer a few paragraphs before asking you to log in.
