The son of the Tigers assistant GM made his major league debut yesterday afternoon and immediately performed better than all of the other Tigers backup catchers have this season. 2-4 with an RBI double for his first big league hit is the kind of call-up performance that gets you a shout out around these parts. Not too bad for a 2008 draftee only a year removed from college. Let's Get That Man a Baseball Card, because if yesterday was any indication, we don't want to ignore his potential impact on what could be a memorable 2009 stretch run for the Tigers.
