TIGERS NOTES

Agua could force Tiger's hand
Not much attention was given when the Tigers signed Cuban free agent Jose Agua in the offseason. Agua played well in the Cuban league, hitting for power. But, his inability to hit lefthanded pitching scared most teams away. Not many expected him to make much of an impact. But now he may be forcing the Tiger's hand. Agua hit .351 with 5 HR and 16 RBI at AA Erie. He was then called up to AAA Toledo, where he has added 6 more home runs, and 13 RBI, while hitting .400 (including .667 in limited action against lefties). Agua is capable of playing third base, as well as the corner outfield positions. His gaudy numbers in the minors could force a call-up in the future.

Rogers playing himself out of the lineup
Catcher Jake Rogers has really struggled. He's hitting a meager .148 with 3 HR and 8 RBI in 27 games thus far. Backup Carson Kelly is hitting .281, and is likely earning more playing time. If Rogers doesn't turn it around soon, he could find himself back in Toledo. Detroit doesn't have a whole lot of depth though. They have prospect Dillon Dingler (.256, 0 HR 4 RBI in Toledo) and Veteran Anthony Benboom at Toledo. They do have an intriguing option at Erie, in Pat Lemmon, an undrafted free agent signed this offseason. Lemmon is hitting .395 at Erie.
