Normally I’d assume both guys would start in Lakeland, but we already have Pacheco, Santana and Sequeira at their positions. Might head straight to West Michigan.
-
I got one right!
-
SS Peyton Graham?
-
Fair. I guess the question is, was there a better prospect that was chosen after Jung that we should have selected instead? For me, the only one that was close was Neto.
-
How many players do we have in the org who can hit for average and power and walk more than they K? I’ll take average defense with that profile.
-
I also remember the speculation around Greene’s defensive prospects. I was surprised to see that he had at least average speed once he signed—I expected him to be slow/sluggish based on what was being said about him.
-
Let’s get him signed and playing before we call him a bust at 2B. As was tweeted, he was dealing with a hip injury this season, which might have impacted his power and mobility. His bat profile is completely lacking throughout the entire organization, so I’m excited to draft him. Maybe not Matt Shepard-excited, but pretty darn close.

Good with any. Like Parada now—hadn’t considered him based on the mocks.
-
Twins and Royals draft stud college bats. Let’s see how we counter.
-
I’d like to see one of Jung or Cross fall to us…only to see us draft Porter. Waiting for a Tigers Twitter implosion if a pitcher is selected.
-
I should have trademarked it. Probably my only positive contribution at the old board.
-
That’s logical, but probably won’t impact the Tigers if they have locked into someone.

Word is that Zach Short is throwing bullpens in the event of a Harold Castro injury. -
Orioles make a bold move drafting a 14-year old SS in Jackson Holliday. Signability pick?
-
Doctor recommended prior to the Pick the Stick portion of each pre-game.
-
Please post your draft party pictures here. And if anyone has a killer recipe for a 7-layer dip, don’t be greedy.
-
Nice to see. I’ve seen nothing this season to suggest that he can’t be an elite pitcher still. The pitches are there, just a matter of getting better command of them consistently. Remember that his coaching prior to this was a HS coach—he’s getting proper instruction for the first time in his life. Manning went through similar challenges.
-
That’s fair—I actually blame him more for the first 5 years of the rebuild than the last few, where I think he’s made some inspired hires and player moves. Still, your point is valid—it’s ultimately about getting results. I hold AJ and his Hinch-men (see what I did there?) culpable, too.
-
I don’t think so, plus I doubt we see him this season as I don’t believe he’s on the 40-man (and they’ll already need to make room for Turnbull and Rogers). Clemens has raked since being sent down and should get the nod.
-
Clemens coming back up? We don’t have a 1B on the team.
-
Ironically, you would have thought the position player would have the less risky.
-
Agree with this. The pitchforks on Twitter calling for his firing wreak of laziness and group speak. I’m not his biggest fan, but I did approve of recent trades, signing and picks. This team has been victim of some rotten luck.
-
I think there is zero chance that Miggy is playing baseball in 2024, for the Tigers or anyone else.
-
That was a good trade and great initial contract. The length of the extension was very questionable, but it has ultimately worked out. He’s not blocking anyone and has given the fans some very memorable moments and distraction from the on-field product the last two seasons. Personally, I’m glad he’s retiring a Tiger—would not have wanted to see him elsewhere.
