New Story: Tigers starting to take shape for 2017

Tigers starting to take shape for 2017
The news filtered down late Sunday afternoon that lefty Pat Krall would forego signing with the St. Louis Cardinals and would return for his senior season at Clemson. It was the kind of news that changes the Tigers’ entire outlook for 2017. Full Story » |

I think Beer is much more suited for 1b than any other position. Tall and lanky- a big target to throw to. I only wish he'd be more agile so that we could utilize his arm in the outfield. TBH, I don't care where they stick him as long as he's swinging the bat every game.

You always stick your weaker defenders at 1st

Beer has a great bat, but has quite a bit of work to do in improving his defense. Despite having a good arm, him moving to first base is the right move.

disagree, disagree, disagree. How many runners/runs can a good 1B save by "picking' bad throws by IFs?
takes a diff skill set to play 1B, but don't think you "hide' a guy there.

Keep Krall in the pen
Jun 13, 2016, 11:40 AM
|
|
Really don't love the idea of starting 3 LHPs on the weekend. Kralls flexibility and ability to affect multiple games provides more value imo.
1. Barnes
2. Crawford/Eubanks
3. Higginbotham

YOU DO REALIZE HE IS COMING BACK SO HE CAN BE A STARTER TO HELP HIM OUT WHEN HE GETS DRAFTED NEXT YEAR. SMALL DETAIL I KNOW.

Maybe Higginbotham moves to the pen

for this year. Coming off an injury it may be better to ease him in.

Logan Davidson will factor heavily into the infield. I wouldn't be surprised if he starts at SS. His stock really increased this season, and he would've been a high draft pick if he was signable. Named North Carolina Player of the Year.

Yeah, losing Kieboom really hurt, but it's not like it wasn't expected by those around college baseball. Davidson will be a factor and I'd also like to see what Grayson Byrd's got after sitting out due to transfer.

Don't think Renwick,Greene or Batson will be in the mix at third. If so we don't have the quality we need coming in.

I think Greene has a lot of potential at 2nd

too small and not a good enough arm at 3rd

Weston Wilson was last year
Jun 14, 2016, 1:45 PM
|

then he moved from 3rd to 2nd and was pretty good. Outside of Williams pretty much everybody who played 3rd this year had a really bad fielding % at 3rd, and if you take out Williams' numbers from 1st base his numbers probably aren't that great either.

3rd isn't his natural position. As someone who played 2nd base growing up it's a lot differnet to move to different infield spots. You oculd tell Greene didn't feel totally comfortable at 3rd, but he may be a solid 2nd baseman, he just looks like a 2nd baseman to me, tbh.

I think we need to put Byrd at 3rd (where he mainly played at LSU), put Grant Cox or Logan Davidson at SS, not play Greene, he can't hit, put Weston Jackson at 2nd.
My opinion, the lineup should look like:
C- Williams
1B- Beer
2B- Jackson
SS- Grant Cox (or Davidson)
3B- Byrd
LF- Rohlman
CF- Pinder
RF- Bryant
DH- Davidson (or Grant Cox)
Rotation:
1. Krall
2. Barnes
3. Eubanks
4. Crawford
5. Higginbotham
Go Tigers! I can't wait for this upcoming season! Love the Seth Beer to 1st move!

True freshman at SS is a tough job, probably tougher than 3rd.

Greene isn't going to hit .300 but his OBP is through the roof... 3rd highest on the team behind only Beer and Okey. He just flat out gets on base. If he could hit even .270 that would be huge for us considering how much he walks and gets HBPs.
