How are the former Tigers doing in professional baseball?  TCI takes a look at their performances in June.

*Note: All statistics, streaks, etc. are through games played on June 30th.

Brad Miller (Tampa Bay Rays) has been one of the streakiest players in the major leagues this season. The shortstop slashed .253/.286/.434 in May, which is basically in line with the .248/.299/.457 slash line he has posted for the season. Miller has become known for his torrid short spurts, like the four-game stretch in late June when he had nine hits in 17 at-bats. Miller has been essentially a replacement-level player this season due to his struggles in the field. He has committed 11 errors so far, second-most among qualifying shortstops.

Tony Sipp (Houston Astros) has seen his role shift a bit this season. He has become primarily a one-out reliever, whereas the team unleashed him for full innings often a year ago. Sipp had a rough June, posting a 12.46 ERA and allowing opponents to hit .440 against him. In spite of this, the veteran had a 1-0 record with three holds and did not blow a save. For the season, Sipp is 1-2 with a 5.09 ERA in 32 appearances spanning 23 innings of work. In every conceivable way, this is setting up to be the worst of his eight major league seasons.

Mike Freeman (Arizona Diamondbacks) continues to tear up the Pacific Coast League at AAA Reno. The second baseman his .327 for the month with eight extra-base hits, including his first home run of the season on June 2. Freeman has 15 doubles and six triples for the year and has an incredible BABIP to go along with a surprisingly high strikeout rate for a player with his batting line. The Diamondbacks are riddled with injuries at the big-league level, and while Freeman isn’t seemingly a priority call-up, he could see some action with the big club late in the year.

Will Lamb (Chicago White Sox) followed up a great May with a fairly good June as a left-handed specialist for AAA Charlotte. For the month, Lamb made eight appearances (including one spot start) and posted an 0-1 record with a 4.22 ERA. Lamb isn’t missing many bats, as he sports just 23 strikeouts in 36.1 innings pitched this season, but the opposition is hitting just .231 against him. His 3.96 ERA is a tad worse than his career average, and he will need to lower it a bit if he wants a look with the big league club in September.

Dominic Leone (Arizona Diamondbacks) spent all of June with AAA Reno after bouncing back and forth from there to the big leagues in April and May. The stat sheet isn’t kind to Leone in June, as he posted a 4.35 ERA over ten appearances for the month, but all five runs he gave up came in a single outing. Otherwise, he struck out 13 batters in 10.1 innings, and opponents hit just .162 against him for the month. Don’t rule out a return to Arizona for Leone in the coming months.

Daniel Moskos (San Diego Padres) has a perfect 4-0 record with a 3.38 ERA this season out of the bullpen for AAA El Paso. The former fourth overall draft pick out of college had a mostly good June, although his worst appearance was his last—a four-run inning of work on June 28. Moskos has the peripherals of a specialist arm (.622 OPS vs lefties, .910 OPS vs righties) and the 31-year-old is probably destined to remain in the minor leagues unless disaster strikes the Padres at some point.

Ben Paulsen (Colorado Rockies) has been in AAA for about six weeks, and he has essentially duplicated his major league stat line through mid-May during his time at Albuquerque. His ratios are almost identical at both levels, and the first baseman posted an improved slash line of .245/.321/.362 in June after initially struggling to adjust to the demotion. Paulsen didn’t hit a homer during the month, but he did drive in 14 runs and contribute eight extra-base hits (5 doubles, 3 triples). He closed out June with a five-game hitting streak.

Richie Shaffer (Tampa Bay Rays) was able to rebound after a solid May. He slashed .242/.321/.358 over 106 plate appearances spanning 26 games for the month. Shaffer mashed a pair of homers and drove in ten runs, but his high strikeout rate continues to keep him from posting stronger numbers overall. The Rays have solidified his position for the time being. Of his last 24 appearances, 21 of them have come at third base. Maybe some stability will lead to another step back toward the big leagues for Shaffer, who ranks among MLB.com and Baseball America’s top ten Rays prospects.

Jason Berken (Toronto Blue Jays) pitched in five games during June, three of them as a starter. He was 1-2 for the month and only had one subpar appearance. For the season, the spot starter/long reliever is 2-7 with a 4.80 ERA in 16 appearances spanning 60 innings of work for AA New Hampshire. His last work for the month came in a three-plus-inning relief appearance on June 19, after which he was placed on the 7-day minor league disabled list.

Steven Duggar (San Francisco Giants) was promoted to AA Richmond on June 30 as a result of a stellar start to 2016 at high-A Bakersfield. The outfielder slashed .284/.386/.462 there with nine homers and 30 RBI. He also mashed 12 doubles and four triples, stole six bases, and walked 44 times in 311 plate appearances. Duggar benefited from a .346 BABIP, so he’s been fortunate, but there’s nothing fluky about the strong contact he’s making. In his AA debut, Duggar went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI as the starting centerfielder. MLB.com ranks him the 24^th-best prospect in the Giants’ system.

Daniel Gossett (Oakland Athletics) has settled in well after being promoted to AA Midland at the beginning of June. He had an 0-2 record for the month, but his 3.65 ERA and 1.18 WHIP suggest that he has continued to do a solid job. He hasn’t posted a quality start yet, but he hasn’t pitched poorly, except for the seven walks he allowed during his last start of the month. Gossett appears to be in the long-term plans of the powers-that-be in Oakland moving forward, and MLB.com has him pegged as the 23^rd-best prospect in the A’s system.

Spencer Kieboom (Washington Nationals) struggled at the dish in June. In 21 games, he hit .211 and has seen his power go away almost completely. His slugging percentage for the month was below the .300 mark, somewhat of a Mendoza line for the statistic. He is walking a good bit, but his strikeout rate is up from when he had 36 walks and only fanned 30 times in 2015. He continues to be strong behind the plate, throwing out 27 percent of base-stealers this season. MLB.com considers him the third-best catching prospect (and 21^st overall) in the Nationals’ minor league system.

Brody Koerner (New York Yankees) is still on the disabled list with an injury suffered in early May. In five starts between high-A Charleston and AA Tampa, Koerner has a 2-0 record with 1.85 ERA, walking five batters and striking out 29 over 34 innings of work.

Kyle Parker (Cincinnati Reds) hit just .169 with AA Pensacola in June, including a stretch where he went 1-for-22 with six strikeouts over a nine-game stretch ending on June 26. That ended up being the final game Parker would play for the Reds’ organization, as the team released him on June 30. For the season, he posted a slash line of .191/.327/.326 with four home runs and 14 RBI in 171 plate appearances over 44 games.

Jay Baum (Seattle Mariners) saw his offensive production drop off in June. He hit just .215 for the month at high-A Bakersfield and hit his first home run in 55 games on June 29. Baum has been a better hitter against lefties than righties throughout his career in the minor leagues, but this season has seen the difference soar. His OPS is an absurd 321 points higher against left-handed pitching (.957 LHP, .636 RHP). Baum played six different positions in June, speaking to his role as a utility starter.

Garrett Boulware (Cincinnati Reds) saw his bat come to life in June for high-A Daytona. After batting under .160 in each of the season’s first two months, Boulware slashed a gaudy .381/.422/.452 and picked up more hits in the month (16) than he had coming into the month (13). The catcher hit safely in ten of 12 games and continues to play strong defense behind the dish, throwing out a whopping 40 percent of potential base-stealers this season.

Matt Crownover (Washington Nationals) made his high-A debut for Potomac on June 4. In five starts at that level, the southpaw is 0-2 with a 5.33 ERA. He has failed to complete six innings in any of those five starts. He has walked 13 batters and struck out only 18 so far at AA. This is probably just a result of adjusting to a new environment, and Crownover should soon return to the form he showed at Hagerstown, where he posted a 1.17 ERA during the season’s first two months.

Zack Erwin (Oakland Athletics) continues to struggle for high-A Stockton. He has a 3-7 record with a 5.35 ERA for the season, and he ended June without a quality start in the month. In fact, only three of his 14 starts have been quality starts so far, and he hasn’t had one since May 8. Erwin is pounding the strike zone and has a high BABIP against him, so if he can induce some weaker contact, there’s no reason he can’t return to the form he showed as a first-year pro in 2015. MLB.com still has him ranked 21^st overall in the Athletics’ farm system.

Tyler Krieger (Cleveland Indians) has been one of the most productive hitters at any minor league level this season. That’s why he was hastily bumped up to high-A Lynchburg after slashing .313/.385/.427 in 262 at-bats for single-A Lake County. In four games to close out June, Krieger had four hits—including a double, a triple, and a home run—in 15 at-bats, scoring and driving in four runs in the process. The second baseman has rocketed up prospect lists in his first full season as a professional, with MLB.com ranking him 21^st among all Indians minor leaguers.

Steve Wilkerson (Baltimore Orioles) unleashed on Carolina League pitching in June, slashing an incredible .372/.429/.512 in 49 plate appearances for the month. Wilkerson only saw action in 14 games due to an injury, but he certainly made the most of his opportunities. During June, Wilkerson improved his batting average by 34 points to .239, earned half of his 16 RBI, and stole three bases to raise his season total to 13. A five-game hitting streak closed out the month for the resurgent Wilkerson.

Chris Okey (Cincinnati Reds) lasted only nine games in rookie ball with Billings before being called up to low-A Dayton at the end of June. Okey hit .162 (6-37) with a double and an RBI in Billings. The second-round draft choice also spent seven games behind the dish on defense and threw out four of ten base-stealers, a solid start to his defensive career.

Clate Schmidt (Detroit Tigers) made his professional debut at low-A Connecticut on June 29. In 1.1 innings out of the bullpen, Schmidt allowed a hit and two walks but did not allow a run while striking out a pair of batters. In the outing, the right-hander threw 24 pitches, 11 for strikes. Expect Schmidt to finish out this season at Connecticut, and there’s a good chance he begins 2017 there, as well.

Eli White (Pittsburgh Pirates) began his pro career on June 22 at low-A Vermont. In nine games, White slashed .207/.281/.207, driving in a run without benefit of an extra-base hit. He struck out ten times in 29 at-bats, so the K rate needs to come down a bit in July, but the shortstop did end June with his first multi-hit game and he has yet to commit an error in 25 chances.

Weston Wilson (Milwaukee Brewers) spent his post-draft time in rookie ball with Helena. The infielder hit the ground running, as he slashed .321/.406/.429 in 32 plate appearance over eight games. Wilson scored five runs, drove in a pair, had three doubles, and stole two bases with two walks and no strikeouts. It’s hard to conceive of a better start than the one Wilson is having to his professional career.
