Rick Porcello lost his first game of the season for the Hens in a tough start.  He gave up five runs on ten hits and three walks with three strikeouts in six innings.  Ryan Perry also had a rough outing in the 7-3 loss.  He gave up an unearned run o…

Alright, John Sickels released his top 20 Tigers prospects and he has an interesting take on the state (or lack there of) of the Tigers minor league system.  There’s little argument as to numbers one (Rick Porcello) and two (Ryan Perry), but I thought Brett Jacobson was an interesting number three.  Still, after that, we’re [...]

Rick Porcello didn’t get the win, but he had another nice start in Lakeland’s 4-1 win over Dunedin.  He gave up just one run on five hits and a walk with five strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings.  Zach Simons got the final batter out in the sixth and he got the win while Guillermo Moscoso [...]

Rick Porcello improved to 2-4 on the season in Lakeland’s 9-2 win over St. Lucie.  He gave up three hits and three walks with two strikeouts in six innings.
Cale Iorg singled, homered and drove in three runs in the win.  Santo De Leon went two for five with a run and an RBI.

Jeramy Laster had a heck of a game.  He belted a solo homer in the third inning to put the Flying Tigers on the board and then he hit a two run shot in the top of the ninth to tie the game at 5-5.  Unfortunately, that even score was short lived Angel Castro gave [...]

Cale Iorg had a pair of singles and unfortunately, that was a third of the Flying Tigers offense in a 5-0 loss to Clearwater.  Jeffrey Kunkel had the only extra base hit of the game with a double.
Rick Porcello dropped to 1-2 on the season but his ERA is still a microscopic 0.64.  He gave [...]

It’s hard to blame this one on Rick Porcello.  He was crusing along but a pair of errors in the fourth inning resulted in four unearned runs and the end result was the young right hander took his first loss.  Still, he gave up just four hits without a walk and he struck out four [...]

The Rick Porcello era has begun.  Last year’s first round draft pick gave up just one hit and two walks with three strikeouts in five shutout innings in the Flying Tigers 4-1 win.  Freddy Dolsi struck out the side, but he gave up the lone run of the game to Tampa.
Brennan Boesch doubled and drove [...]

Kevin Goldstein recently put out his list of who he things the Tigers top eleven prospects are.  It’s an interesting list because like last year, you have two top players then a steep drop off.  Cameron Maybin checks in at number one for the second straight season and that’s not a surprise.  Yeah Maybin fell [...]

The Tigers took high school pitcher Rick Porcello in the first round of the 2007 draft.  Brian has the lowdown on Porcello so check it out.
