  1. Baddoo is still pretty raw, we don't know his ceiling yet. He really could have benefited from 600 everyday at bats in AAA.
  2. You get to know a guy a little bit, you naturally pull for him. Why is this noteworthy?
  3. Magic 8 ball says "Reply hazy. Try again."
  4. He made great strides in that regard last year in AA, so let's see if he can make the adjustments to how they are now pitching him.
  5. If they valued Cerkownyk that highly (5th round money) I doubt they would have waited until the 15th round to draft him, and I can't see they committing that amount until the pool draftees are resolved, and lastly, he just isnt that type of prospect.
  6. This is how I always hoped the Tigers would draft, focus on upside and correctable issues, and trend younger, where you are on the development curve matters. Now if they can avoid my other pet peeve; don't draft players you can't sign.
  7. FB up to 97 with 20" movement. Potential plus breaking ball. Inconsistent delivery, but potential for solid mechanics.
  8. He’s not blocked by anyone. He’s not much of a fielder, but if he hits, they’ll find a place for him.
  9. I'd be excited if they got Crews or Langford, ambivalent if it's Skenes, happy with Clark or Jenkins, pissed if they pick Teel, or anyone else.
  10. Holding him back! He's 21 with half a season in AA and a week in AAA, and less than 700 total minor league at bats. He has a lot to work on.
  11. He was regularly touching the upper 90's during rehab, and with his extension that gets on you in a hurry, but coming off an injury, you can expect inconsistency as you build up arm strength and settle into a routine.
  12. Nope, he’s gone before August 1
  13. Apparently they didn't think much of any of this years free agent options.
  14. As far as i know, he only missed significant games with injury once two years ago.
  15. They needed a shooter on the wing, and they got one on an expiring deal, and picked up a couple 2nds. The have assets to do other things, if they want.
  16. Shouldn't, take who has the higher grade. If it's a pitcher, fine, quality defender, fine. Trust your scouts. If players don't pan out, get better scouts.
  17. Positional value is accounted for in the players grade. It would be a poor approach to draft based on need or position played, rather than overall grade.
  18. Crews, but it's close, maybe the one who will take less. Any of the clear top five, not Teel, unless he took a huge discount.
