How's those 2B and SS prospects coming along?

At SS Gustavo nunez is our 1# guy, I have scouted him for a while now, since spring training. Here are some pros and cons on himQuote:

I dont know anything about 2B, I think Sizemores our best spect at the spot, and he sucks balls....
I thought he was joking lol. Either way, good update on Nunez but don't forget about Daniel Fields.Quote:

Anyone have news on Brent Dlugach? Other then what I have?
I tried to look it up and I think you're right. What site do you use (or anyone else for that matter)? Most of what I read suggests our system is pretty weak. I tried baseball-reference.com just now and sure enough it had him at CF.Quote:

"...lack of ability to make contact and get on base, add some mediocre defense at SS, and he doesn't look like much of an option. Maybe the Tigers will promote Ciriaco or Iorg and put them at SS or 3B in Toledo, otherwise, they figure to put Worth at SS and Rhymes or Sizemore at 3B with the other playing 2B. We'll know soon where they're going."
Everyone knew Dlugach sucked, but we were hoping. I thikn Rhymes is the 2B of the future for the Tigers. He would make a very good #9 or #2 hitter with solid defense. Just not sure what they will do with him next season since we have Guillen still.
he can come off the bench for all i care. rhymes has better range and i like the speed threat
Agreed rhymes is good. I wouldnt jusy hop on his band wagon yet, he did only bat like 250 in his brief stint, but he had some clutch hits and could play D. Also he can steal a base, we need another guy who can run. Have guillen back up and have rhymes start if he performs this spring and after hes recalledQuote:

I am going to update my original post as we go along. So this will be updated. Feel free to keep posting and I can add it to the first post.
I will be updating this around spring training ish time.
Feel free to add more news and thoughts
Actually he hit 304. with 12 doubles,3 triples,1 hr,19 RBI's,14BB,and 16 SO's in 191 AB's.Please if your listening Dombrowski,make the team younger and put Rhymes at Second!Quote:

Rhymes did well with us in his brief stint and could be effective at 2nd for a brief stint, but don't expect the world from him. He should make the roster out of spring training though, I hope.Quote:
