The Book on Ryan Strieby
Prospect Info
Ryan Strieby
Born 8/9/1985
1B, DET
A huge, hulking lumberjack of a first baseman, right-handed slugger Ryan Strieby made pretty short work of AA Erie in 2009, mashing 19 homers in 86 games and posting a .303/427/.565 line on the season (that's a .992 OPS). The average may take a bit of a dive as he moves up to the big leagues, but the power should play in Comerica. He's more than a little blocked by Miguel Cabrera in Detroit right now, so the Tigers have him working out in left field. Time will tell if he's got the skills to stick there. A hot start this spring could get him a full-time MLB job before the end of the year.
