They system needs talent, upgrade any way you can. Ignoring the future to try to be mediocre now is not an optimistic strategy, either.
-
Marte and Arroyo would be great adds to the Tigers system. There's no big urgency to add someone who can help right away.
-
This would be dumb on their part. Get the best prospects you can. You want a consistent pipeline on into the future. The idea of bunching prospects on the same timeline is an illusion.
-
Boo, he probably had the best stuff of all the drafted pitchers, and was young enough to still have some development left. With only 20 rounds, you really shouldn't draft anyone who hasn't agreed to sign unless it's a high reward gamble.
-
Fans, in general, spend too much time staring at stats, and then overreacting.
-
Nah, he had one season in the minors and they advanced him 3 levels and then pushed him into the big leagues. Hitting in the bigs is tough, lets see if he's tough enough to handle the failure and make adjustments.
-
That track is no longer accessible.
-
Re: Skubal, it makes no sense to create a hole to fill a hole. Young top starting pitching is a huge need for this club, as much or more so than an additional hitter.
-
That would have little impact, clubs evaluate mostly based on stuff, analytics, not stats, situations.
-
Pleis mentioned something about the Divine Self.
-
They took 3 senior signs. I don't believe they'll need to go overslot on any of their other picks, so they should have some surplus to have fun with.
-
That's so bourgeois
-
He's touched 99
-
Yes, but you don't draft for that as a ceiling, you draft for stars, settle for anything less.
-
No, why would it, it's scouting driven.
-
No one is saying he's a bad defender. What they are saying is his range and arm are a bit short of major league average.
-
No, he's playable at second, he's not cringeworthy on defense like Jacob Berry, it's just not a plus.
-
Well, if you're going to hit .400, you're going to have a high babip.
-
All the speculation is kind of silly. They have their board, the top of which is most assuredly dominated by hitters, but it all depends on who goes before their pick, and then they'll take whoever is their highest rated player remaining.

Context
-
Rodriguez may not be communicating with anyone, including his agent.
-
I'd rather have Gauthier or Kasper, but they may not make it to them, but if they don't, then one of the "top five" may drop. should be interesting.
-
This is an unusual draft in that the first 8-10 are very closely bunched, so it might not take as much to move up. On the other hand, why move up when you can save your bullets and get a comparatively ranked player by staying put?
-
He's an unfinished product. Let him learn to hit all types of pitching.
-
If you're not going to play Baddoo every day, leave him in Toledo.
