Tigers Prospect Scouting Report: Rob Waite

John Verburg — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 17:44:19 +0000

Rob Waite is a little talked about reliever in the Tigers system, that spent this past off-season pitching in the Arizona Fall League. While he may not have the arm of some of the other relief options in the minors, it doesn’t mean there isn’t some things to like with Waite. He will have some people to jump over in the pecking order, but it is still worth taking a look at him and his repertoire.

We celebrate Rob Waite’s 25th birthday with a scouting report on him.

Putting Charlie Furbush’s Debut in Perspective

Last night marked the major league debut of Tigers left hander Charlie Furbush. Furbush entered the game when starter Phil Coke turned his ankle with one out and two on in the fourth inning, and the Tigers trailing by a run.

Furbush battled his nerves pretty well, but wound up walking the first man he faced when a 3-2 offering was ruled low. It looked like a strike to me (and to the Tigers dugout), but it goes down as a walk in the scorebook so that is what it is. Now with the sacks drunk, Furbush stood tall and proceeded to fan the next two batters and escape the jam.

That lead-off walk would be the only one he allowed (though he did hit a batter) in an outing that lasted through the seventh, encompassing 3.2 frames. He added one more strikeout to his total and yielded two hits. It was an impressive performance that earned him a victory.

Tigers rock Eddie Bonine for 4 runs on five hits in two innings to beat the mighty Phillies 6-2 in a split squad game.
