Jason Beck: Casper Wells coming back to Detroit

But the walk rate is a good sign. He’s probably overperforming on BABIP with the average, but I can see him walking 15% of the time in the Bigs. That, plus good speed and lots of power and good corner OF defense could make a good regular.

Of course, that depends on the walk rate staying high.

To about 9.4% and up to 14% this month.

Also, 11.6 on the road and 3.9 at home. Weird split. I’d question the lights at Fifth Third, but that seems unnecessary.

- I could not see why they’d call up a pitcher with a 1.5 WHIP rate in AAA ball and expect he’d suddenly find his command in the majors

- Still puzzled by WTH they’re doing with (to) Sizemore, moving him all over hell’s half acre

- Still miffed by the presence of Peralta every time he plays shortstop. Do they even look at any advanced defensive metrics? Or just fielding percentage and “range factor”?

- Every season, we anticipate getting to see several players that have been having fine seasons in the minors, and every September, we’re miffed that only three or four players are called up, in addition to a couple of DL activations.

- I really, really want to see Zach Simons in Detroit

- I think one veteran late inning reliever this winter, and there is a good crop of them on the free agent market, then see what you can find among all the young guns in the system

- If I’m the GM, Dan Schlereth might be traded. Happy to have him and all his stuff, but there’s no guarantee that he’ll ever find the plate consistently. If I can turn him (or any other prospect not named Oliver or Turner) into an above average major league player that fills a need…… I’m there

- Casper may wells be the best fourth OF prospect in the system!
