Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch mentioned outfielder Akil Baddoo, and he didn't shy away from adding right-hander Casey Mize into the mix. Both players, Hinch believes, deserve more recognition in the American League Rookie of the Year race.
"They'll be late," Hinch said Wednesday about Baddoo. "Whenever it starts to generate, it'll be late."
But Hinch didn't forget about catcher Eric Haase.
"We've got three guys that are standing out amongst their peers as being viable guys for that type of award at the end of the year," Hinch said.
