Tigers Select John Schreiber

By Steve Adams | August 8, 2019 at 11:46am CDT

The Tigers announced Thursday that they’ve selected the contract of right-hander John Schreiber from Triple-A Toledo. He’ll step into the vacancy that was created when Detroit designated veteran reliever Trevor Rosenthal for assignment yesterday.

Schreiber, 25, is a Michigan native whom the Tigers selected in the 15th round back in 2016. He hasn’t drawn any rankings in the top echelon of an improved Tigers farm system, but he’s enjoyed a strong 2019 campaign all the same. In a combined 54 2/3 innings out of the bullpen between Double-A Erie (seven innings) and Triple-A Toledo (47 2/3 innings), Schreiber owns a 2.80 ERA with averages of 11.7 K/9, 3.8 BB/9 and 0.82 HR/9.

Detroit’s bullpen has been in a state of flux for much of the season, as is to be expected with a rebuilding club. The deadline trade of Shane Greene to the Braves and Rosenthal’s departure only further open the door for auditions over the final two months of the 2019 season.

      No idea why the linking script picked that one, but I’ve updated it.

    The Detroit Tigers are the New York Knights without Roy Hobbs.

    Time for the kids to come up and see what they have.
    There are so many players on this team that would pass through waivers… DFA John Hicks, Jordy Mercer, Gordon Beckham, Ronny Rodriguez, Sandy Baez, Blaine Hardy, Ryan Carpenter, Matt Hall, Zack Reininger,

      Not so hasty, grasshopper. Without these AAAA players, you’d have a 20-man squad. We have to suffer with these guys to fill innings until more prospects are ready to be called up. No use calling them up before they’re ready. Patience, grasshopper, you need more patience.

        Tigers farm system seems to love right handed power pitchers, middle infielders that can’t hit and left handed hitting outfielders that run like the wind, but have very little power.
        Can you tell the difference between OF, Montgomery, Woodrow, Robson, Gibson, Deatherage, Meadows?

          Woodrow and Robson are likely fill-ins. Deatherage and Meadows have potential, especially Meadows. There is some pop in those bats even if they aren’t 20 HR a year guys. In Comerica Park you need speed in the outfield, speed on defense to cut off gappers and speed on offense to take an extra base. Deatherage and Meadows might do that.

          Middle infielders that can’t hit? You surely don’t mean Isaac Paredes at short and Kody Clemens at second, do you? Although, Paredes would probably be better at third, first or a corner outfield at hit size.

          I think they’ll draft a college shortstop first overall next year or use their considerable minor-league pitching depth to trade for one. Avila isn’t totally stupid – he knows that with excess pitching you can acquire anything else you need.

          The Tigers farm system is rated #6 and will likely be higher this time next year due to a great draft position (for losing 110 games!) and because many of their prospects will still be on the farm next summer.

          I think Paredes has been playing third. Clemens is batting .230 at A ball as a 23 year old. I hope he takes a big step soon.
          They have done a great job in the draft and the farm is developing. They have solid pitching and a top level hitter in Greene. They need to add to that this draft. They drafted a good hitter later in the draft in Packard (OF). I hope Meadows and Clemens turn into top hitters too. Daz Cameron has been a disappointment. No one knows anything about Campos, the guy they got from Cuba. He’s only 16, so it will be a long wait.
          I’m afraid the tanking will continue for at least one more year. They seem to like these top picks.

      Having watched enough of the Tigers farm clubs…not one of those guys are remotely close to being productive big leaguers.

    I’m not in agreement with dumping Jordy Mercer. He’s picked it now that he’s healthy.
    However, he along with Harold Castro, Niko Goodrum, Jake Rogers and Brandon Dixon are the only MLB calibur position players on the team. That includes Miguel Cabrera.

      Are you kidding me? Mercer is literally the worst ss ive ever seen in person. yes even college. he can’t even field it hit right to him. I don’t know how hes made a living doing this. Hes had 5 errors on the books in last 8 games. That doesnt even count ones he shouldve fielded but he just couldnt get to them. its really sad. He should apologize to detroit fans. If he was anywhere but there he wouldve been boo’d. This team is bad, i feel sorry for gardenhire for the players avila has given him.

        Jordy Mercer is not a great player nor is he a keeper after this season. On this team, he’s not the first player I would cut either.

      Castro and Rogers for sure. Goodrum, Miggy, Dixon, and even JaCoby Jones are fringe starters at best on a good team, maybe just bench players.

      Castro needs to learn how to take a walk. Goodrum is a solid bench guy. Rogers looks like a solid catcher. I’m not sold on Dixon.

      Personally, if I were Avila. I would try and get a slew of veteran free agents to fill the many holes we have. This would get these young players like Castro, Willi Castro and Rogers and our young pitchers a more competitive environment. No one likes to lose.
      I would try and sign Avila as a backup catcher. Smoak as 1B. (they have an awesome OBP, maybe they can help Castro and others get on base more). Rogers at catcher. Harold Castro as 2B. Willi Castro at short. Candelaria at third. Goodrum and Lugo as bench pieces. An outfield of Stewart, Dyson and Avisail Garcia. with Reyes on the bench and Cabrera at DH.
      I would try and get Porcello on a cheap deal to build value. He might benefit from pitching in a large park. Matt Moore on a one year deal where he makes his debut after the AS break.
      None of these are long term deals and shouldn’t cost too much. It will give the Tigers a major league roster and the young players will see how the game is supposed to be played. When Mize and Manning and the rest come up, they will have a major league defense behind them and a chance to score some runs.

    It is not possible to watch a Detroit Knights game and come away thinking Jordy Mercer can play. He personally should have an ERA given what results from his lack of range plus an alarming disinclination to attempt catching shallow fly balls.

    It’s obvious he doesn’t trust Victor Reyes, Christin Stewart or JaCoby Jones not to bust him into pieces, and countless earned runs have scored via that and other defensive atrocities. And, even at that he’s twice as good as his longtime partner, Josh Missinginaction (even when he was playing). Two more Avila triumphs.

    Don’t for a second think this guy can play. At least not with the Knights given how terrified he has become.
