    The only current SP I'd trust with a high leverage role would be Skubal.   Call me crazy, but I'm thinking that wouldn't be a good move.

    This is my POV.

    I want higher leverage pitchers for higher leverage playoff and WS innings. If we can get that far.

    I have no idea how cheaply we can get them or even if we can... They're not going to be cheap, but at a price that Harris feels he can work with...

    gettiing who  they want dont confuse public mock drafts and boards with how the Tigers see them

    This draft will be interesting to see 3/4 years out...

    See how these draftees grow (or not)...

    For those interested in following minor leaguers...

    My point would be that Clark has at least plus speed, and would score more runs if he lead off games with a walk/steal to be on 2nd with nobody out...

    If he's stealing at a success rate of 80%+, the Tigers should give him the "green light".

    They might not do that when he just breaks in...

    But I think they'll turn that light on sooner rather than later or never...

    IMO.

    ... Given how the Angels like to fast track their guys in the minors and they just picked ... the Angels do play Eli Willits before the end of the year...

    The Nationals drafted Willets, FYI.

    Sorry, I ain't edman chas and I know you don't like seeing my posts... just a friendly fyi.

    The Angels drafted 21 y.o. college arm Tyler Bremner.

    Who could be a fast riser into MLB, possibly even this year based on Angels...

    They don't need SP at all. In the playoffs, teams usually shorten to a four-man rotation...

    Which means...

    The only SP help we should be looking for, if any, would have to be better than Mize-Montero-Olson-Flaherty... because we already have those guys and the rotation gets shortened in the playoffs anyways, as you've noted.

    We don't "NEED" SP help...

    But if the rare opportunity to add a true #2 starter were available, and at a cost that Harris approved... I would not be averse to adding that person. Because the above 4 are pitching like 3/4/5 starters (inconsistent, not reliably dominant, IMO).

    I don't know that anyone fitting that description is available anyways, so moot point.

    I'm just sayin'...

    I would've liked to have taken a shot with Gage Wood however...

    He could make an MLB bullpen before the end of the year... and I wouldn't have minded that being with Detroit.

    He still has starter upside (no hitter 19K's his last start...); but he could begin his MLB career in the bullpen and I wouldn't shed any tears over that...

    But alas... Dombrowski and his Phillies are taking that shot...

    Not sure he’s an under slot, with a commitment to play with his brother at Florida.  Unless he was more of a 2nd rounder type.

    They're saying he wasn't even 2nd round consideration until late this year...

    I think the money will be much higher than he expected... I'm certain they've had conversations with him and his family on this already... and he'll sign for quite a bit under slot...

    Just guessing...
