BRENNAN BOESCH RUMORS

The Detroit Tigers lost again last night and are now 20-23 and in 3rd place in the sketchy American League Central division. In part 1 of this series (click here), I examined 8 of the Detroit Tigers hitters and identified what modifications to their approach might help each player moving forward. The overriding theme in part 1 spoke to each player’s pitch recognition ability...

Its still early, but after 28 games, Im sure most Tiger fans thought that their beloved Bengals would be much better than a .500 club. Even with a difficult schedule, conventional wisdom was that Detroit would out-slug their opposition. Thus far, the Tigers have had a lengthy power outage (too many solo home runs), back-of-the bullpen-blues and difficulty scoring runs. Watching...

Managers walk a fine line between conveying a sense of panic and making moves when a change is called for. Jim Leyland didn't want anyone to read anything extra into his dropping of his season-long No. 2 hitter, Brennan Boesch, down to the eight spot in his batting order. He was replaced by Andy Dirks as the man behind leadoff hitter Austin Jackson. "I'm just...

Per James Schmehl of MLive, Jim Leyland has dropped Brennan Boesch to eighth in the order. In his place will be left fielder Andy Dirks.I recommended Alex Avila for the position yesterday, but it looks like Leylend has not heeded my advice. Dirks has a .302 batting average this season, but hasn't yet drawn a walk in 44 plate appearances. So, even though his average says "...

Detroit Tigers right fielder Brennan Boesch caught a sinking line drive while turning away from the ball after losing it in the lights during Tuesday night's game against the Kansas City Royals. Your browser does not support iframes. It happened in the top of the eighth inning when Kansas City Royals DH Billy Butler hit a line drive to right field. Boesch was standing...

In the top of the 8th inning of the Tigers-Royals game on Tuesday night, Billy Butler "lined out to right field," according to the box score. Sounds simple enough, but it wasn't your ordinary line out. Tigers' right fielder Brennan Boesch, who has made catching routine fly balls quite an adventure this season*, lost the ball in the lights, I assume, and turned...

The Tigers ended their homestand with a 5-1 record behind Brennan Boesch's 2 hits and 4 RBI in a 7-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays today. In ESPN's alternate universe, some guy named "Brandon" Boesch also had a pretty good game. Look closely... Regardless of his first name, today was also Boesch's 27th birthday. The Tigers head to Chicago tomorrow for a...

I usually like to keep private emails private, but when it’s matters of the state or sleepers, all is fair.  The first email was from Hank from Dearborn, Michigan.  Hank writes, “Where’s Brennan Boesch?  I’ve been long time reader of Razzball and I wish to know the answer to this question.  Until I know said answer, I’m farting in your general direction...

Part 2 of our Detroit Tigers fantasy outlook will tap into the late rounders and sleeper candidates that should at least be worth considering as fillers near the end of your draft. For Part 1, which takes a peek at the early and mid-rounders, click here. Brennan Boesch Late Rounders: ESPN slots Delmon Young, Austin Jackson, and Brennan Boesch as fringe players potentially worth drafting...

When the Detroit Tigers made their run to the AL championship series last year, Brennan Boesch wasn't able to play. Boesch, the 26-year-old outfielder who hit 16 home runs in 115 games, was unavailable because of a right thumb injury that required surgery, but he's back now and says he's 100 percent heading into the season. Boesch is expected to play an important role...
