Rick Porcello- Strong Buy, looking very solid once again this year. The young virtuoso just needs to stay healthy and the sky is the limit.
Robbie Weinhardt- Hold, his stock would show up as "unch" for "unchanged" if I'm doing the scoring. He had a solid year in the minors and the Arizona Fall League, but 4 measly innings in Spring Training don't vault him too far ahead. Still he's one to watch and could easily be the 2nd from "The Great Bullpen Draft of '08" to surface in DET.
Magglio Ordonez- Medium Buy, looking good and making it seem that the strong finish to last year wasn't an illusion.
Dan Schlereth- Soft sell (to the minors)....nothing to worry about long term, but getting strafed so often probably leads his future to the minors to get things started this year. Still has the whole 2nd half of Spring Training to change course however. Big lefty throws hard...they'll give him about 25 chances to make it over the next few years.
Scott Sizemore...hold, I'm not worried.
Andy Oliver- Buy! The kid is likely to be the fast-mover of the '09 draft for the Tigers while Jacob Turner logs a season and a half in the minors.
Max Scherzer- Buy. He got it going on Saturday versus several of the Mets' regulars. A couple of more good outings and he's on his way.
Stephen Strasburg- (Not a Tiger....don't care) BUY, BUY, BUY! Another shutout outing today.
Austin Jackson- Strong buy- You can't get all jacked up over Spring success...we all know this. But the reports on his defense are first rate. To me this says he can be the man out there this summer patrolling centerfield.
Zach Miner- Sell. I dunno...I think there are young guys I'd rather see pitch. I've never been a Miner-basher...but you can't get excited over this fellow.
