He's ready right now.

[Forsh]

I will agree with you guys in that he's probably ready to take some lumps in the majors right now. He could probably improve just as easily there.

In my opinion tho, he's not going to significantly help the team toward anything this season. There's a chance he'll be a bit overwhelmed initially, and I think he's much more likely to end the season hot in Toledo than the majors. That might be better in terms of carrying over momentum, plus waiting until next year to start the clock.

But if they call him up in September, hey whatever

[Forsh]

That's probably 100% mental.
Tork, you mashed your way to a promotion to the show - 30,000+ fans and the bright lights and all of that.....
Meh, on 2nd thought, here's a bus ticket to Toledo for your troubles.

Don't think it's the way you mean, but he's struggled off the jump at each level ... then he grows accustomed to it.

You cannot See the Elephant in Toledo.

[The King]

Jesus, you would be a terrible blackjack player. Mr. Doubledown on shit odds.

After tonight’s 0-3, Tork is hitting .143 at AAA.

Ya. He’s clearly not ready.

“You cannot See the Elephant in Toledo.”

WTF are you even talking about? You’ve lost your damn mind.

Everybody struggles when they get to Toledo - because they realize the bus stopped about 60 miles short.....

Riley Greene isn't struggling so far ... guess he must not have big league aspirations 🤣

Miguel Cabrera: 'Two more years' with Detroit Tigers before retirement

Evan Petzold
Detroit Free Press

ST. LOUIS — It's not a surprise, but Detroit Tigers veteran Miguel Cabrera has reaffirmed his plan for the future.

"Two more years," Cabrera said. "That's it."

In an interview Wednesday morning with ESPN's Sage Steele, Cabrera discussed his Hall of Fame career, reaching 500 home runs Sunday in Toronto and his chase for 3,000 hits, which he needs 42 hits to accomplish.

But the 38-year-old also talked about retirement.

"My right knee is really bad," Cabrera said. "I need to take care of this in the offseason and prepare myself for next season. I say two more years. I think that's enough. I will be happy with 20 years in the big leagues if I can make it. Thank God for giving me this opportunity. Two more years and I'm done."

I hope he stays above .300 for his career. Retiring shortly after reaching 3,000 hits would be my hope

Looks like if Miggy batted 200-for-800 over the next 2+ seasons (a .250 average with some time missed for rest and injuries), his average would only go down from .311 to .306 ... so I guess he should be safe to stay above .300 in just about any scenario. If he starts hitting .125 he won't play, I'd assume

[Fraquar]

Give him 300 AB for the next 4 years - he'd literally need to hit at Ray Oyler levels to not keep a .300 average.
He's plenty safe.

If he starts hitting .125 he won't play, I'd assume

Another scenario:
1,000 more career ABs for Cabrera.
200 hits.
.200 average.
Cabrera will have 10,519 career ABs, 3,158 hits, and a career .3002 hitting average.

Safe to say this stat will stay above .300
At his age, I can see Cabrera's health being an issue for the next two seasons. If Cabrera starts hitting at the "Laird line" rate, I agree... he won't play enough to tank his stats.

It's a nothingburger.

That dude was something in his prime though. I still can’t believe the Marlins traded him away.
