Tigers complete Maroth trade
posted in 2007 season, trades |Reports are the Tigers completed the trade with St. Louis by taking former first-round pitcher Chris Lambert.
He was taken 19th overall and had a good year in A ball. Otherwise, the past two years, he has been stalled at AAA-Memphis with unremarkable stats. He’s only started three times this year, but had been a starter in the past. In AAA, he has a decent strikeout rate, nearly 9 K9. But that’s about it. A large amount of hits and walks gives him a WHIP of 1.86.
Pretty uninspiring. I guess Dave Dombrowski hopes a fresh start will help.
Given Mike Maroth has performed poorly for St. Louis, the trade looks like a wash.
