Will Maddox made AA Eastern League All-Star game. Stewart made AAA all star game but will not be able to play due to injury. Great news about Senzel.

Stewart left game last night in the 5th or 6th inning manager said he had an injury or cramp in his calf muscle. Anyone have update this afternoon?

The Tigers made a bad rule 5 draft pick that help clog up the outfield. That pick also hurt Stewarts chance to be on the 40 man roster. Since he is not on the 40 man it is much tougher to promote him until September. I think if he can convince the Tigers that he can play adequate in the...

That is bizarre about Moberg. The AAA team has 3 infielders on the DL and Moberg did not get there until May 24th. He may have been in extended spring waiting for short season, rehabbing, etc and they decided to send him to fill in at AAA until some of the guys get healthy. He is a great guy...

Quick updates: Andy Cox- listed on roster with Dayton Dragons, showing DL, no stats from this year. Nick Senzel- not played since 5/3, heard it was vertigo, looks like back very soon, with AAA Louisville Bats Jordon Rodgers, batting .221 with 21 hits in 27 games and 95 at bats. Playing...

Quick update on minor league assignments so far for vols. Jordon Rodgers is going to High A with Florida Fire Frogs (braves) Simcox and Maddox going to AA Erie with the Tigers. Stewie going to AAA Toledo Mudhens with the Tigers Senzel is still listed as AA, but I think they have just not...

Big year for several Vols. Senzel should play in the major leagues (probably May call up with they can save a year off arbitration), Stewie is getting some talk with Tigers, probably start in AAA, Simcox and Maddox both in either AAA or AA with tigers, Godley trying to lock down spot in...

AJ's case is unusual in that the claim against him is that he "helped" his co-defendant sexually assault the alleged victim in the case. The victim never claims that her sexual encounters with AJ were anything but consensual. I was surprised that the Judge denied the most recent request to...

AJ Simcox invited to play in the Arizona Fall League for the Tigers. Important step. Congrats!

I had heard that Andy Cox had surgery this summer. He was having a very solid summer. He has not appeared in a game since June. I would be surprised if he pitch again this year. I would love to be wrong.

Heard they have a new assistant coach, Ross Kivett. He is a volunteer assistant coach or however they classify that position. He played at Kansas State, very good outfielder and hitter. He was in the Detroit Tigers organization where he made it to AA. Good player, very high energy guy.

Maddox, Stewie and Simcox each hit home runs this weekend for Erie. The announcers on the tv/video broadcast could not think of another time that 3 players that played together on the same college team started for a AA team. The announcer also thought it was odd that Maddox had higher batting...

Maddox up to .300 for the Lakeland Flying Tigers, rumors are that could soon be hanging out with Stewie and AJ in Erie.

I went to Braves game yesterday. Godley did not have his best stuff, but proud of him. Braves are hot and have some solid bats in the middle of the lineup. Classic Godley was even after the rough start he stayed in the game, ate up innings and struckout 4 of the last 5 batters he faced. You...

Looks like Godley will pitch against the Braves in Atlanta this Sunday.
