Erie, Pa. – Study the numbers and there, in Isaac Paredes, you see something rare among Tigers farmhands.
An authentic hitter.
He is a player who could bring to Detroit a passel of pluses the Tigers need for a lineup and roster that today, in the bushes, features lots of arms and too few mashers.
Paredes is 20 years old. Last week he wrapped up a season at Double-A during which he batted .336 in August and .321 during the Erie SeaWolves’ final 50 games.
