Tigers Claim Troy Stokes

By Jeff Todd | September 3, 2019 at 1:07pm CDT

The Tigers have claimed outfielder Troy Stokes Jr. off waivers from the Brewers, per a club announcement. To create 40-man space, the Detroit organization released lefty Ryan Carpenter.

Stokes has at times been considered a solid prospect, but lost his 40-man spot recently. He has managed only a .233/.341/.385 batting line this year in 381 plate appearances at Triple-A.

Carpenter, who just turned 29, has been on the injured list but obviously wasn’t in the Tigers’ future plans. He has struggled to an 8.57 ERA in 63 career MLB frames.

      on the contrary, Carpenter is pretty terrible, but Stokes could at least develop into serviceable 4th OF.

        Plus he’s still young and seems promising. Definitely could see him making the tigers roster come 2020

    Damn one slot away from Baltimore. Figured someone left in the organization has to be familiar w the old Baltimore prep star. But Detroit is a good spot for him to break in. Obviously I’ll be rooting for him.

    Sometimes it just takes a different place or different coach he kinda reminds me of Troy OLeary

      Is it more than his first name that reminds you of him?

    We know Carpenter is not a major league pitcher. Stokes? Well, guess we’ll find out if there is something worthwhile in this young OF. Nothing wrong in taking a flier on him at this time of the year.

    tigers are in tank mode. they are not interested in pay role or talent. look how many people they passed on this season.

    I like this move. I can see him as a solid left fielder. He’ll be better than Christin Stewart out there, who I foresee moving to first base.

    Watched Troy a lot in San Antonio this year. Not consistent at all. Can’t see him as anything else but a good AA or fair AAA OF.
