Detroit — Of course Jake Rogers was thrilled to finally get promoted to Triple-A Toledo.
One hundred and twenty-six games in Double-A is more than enough for the Tigers’ top catching prospect, especially one who was killing it at Erie, hitting .302 with a .429 on-base average and slugging .535.
“It’s great, just climbing that ladder and getting one step closer to the ultimate dream of getting to Detroit,” Rogers said Tuesday in a teleconference with reporters. “It means everything right now.”
He may not fully be aware of what he’s in for, though.
