Tigers Claim Marc Krauss From Rays

By Steve Adams | July 6, 2015 at 2:11pm CDT

The Tigers announced that they’ve claimed first baseman Marc Krauss off waivers from the Rays. Tampa Bay had designated Krauss for assignment over the weekend.

The claim of Krauss is a fairly logical move for the Tigers, who learned this weekend that they’ll be without two-time AL MVP Miguel Cabrera for the next six weeks due to a calf injury. Krauss, 27, hasn’t hit much in the Majors over parts of the past three seasons, but he does have some power, with 11 homers in 402 big league plate appearances and a career .198 ISO in the minors. With this move, he’ll join his fourth organization of the past seven months. The Angels claimed Krauss off waivers from the Astros back in December then traded him to the Rays earlier this season.

    If you have an upper deck seat and squint enough, Marc Krauss and Miguel Cabrera basically look the same.

    The one time I make a suggestion that they follow, and its acquiring Marc Krauss. 🙁
    Still, if they got JD to hit, and Austin Jackson to hit, Gose to hit, maybe….

      Jackson hasn’t been a Tiger since July 31,2014. He was part of the David Price three-team trade and ended up Seattle.

        I am sure he/she meant someone else. I do that all the time. Would love to see Maggs step it up.

          just testing the thumbs down. It works! No, I did mean Austin Jackson. Even Andrew Romine is showing improvement this year. I truly believe that being on the same team as Miggy and Victor forces players to look at how they approach each AB.

        I think he meant that the Tigs have a track record of acquiring guys that didn’t hit all that well in the majors and making them hit.

        But when he was with the Tigers, Austin Jackson hit. His hitting was questioned when they got him from NYY.
