I would love to trade Mize for a bat but I think his value is pretty low right now. We need a legit bat and the Tigers would have to part with Skubal to make that happen. Would Pittsburgh do something like Mize, Baddoo, and a B grade prospect for Brian Reynolds? I doubt it.
-
This is nuts. I am so frustrated with Hinch and the front office right now I am close to wanting this season to go into a nose dive so somebody gets fired for this huge disappointment.
-
Didn't watch one pitch. Jeimer and Schoop are killing us. Not much you can do about that at this point. They are still our best options. Hill has to play every day in centerfield.
-
Lions seem to do well with PFF grades. Maybe that is something they use?
-
I think this QB thing is just a cycle. If some of the early round qb's the last few years had performed better, then you wouldn't see guys dropping this far. If this year's qb class impresses, than you will see more qb's drafted early again next year. Teams can convince themselves either way on quarterbacks based on what they want to find.
-
I agree. That is the obvious pick and you have to take him if he is there. If he isn't there though, I think I am going QB.
-
Makes the trade up for Williams look even better. The second round really is more about franchise preference than who is the best player available now. Each team has their favorite and the rankings for each team varies widely I bet.
-
There are 3 or 4 guys who would be decent value. It doesn't necessarily have to be Willis. Unless there is a QB run right before we pick.
-
I am warming to the idea of drafting a QB. For those saying wait till next year, we could be in the same position next year having to reach for somebody. At this point, there is some guys who provide decent value for the pick. It's pretty much a crapshoot anyways. I don't think I would pass up Nakobe Dean if he does make it to us. After him though, I'd be thinking QB.
-
That felt like a bit of a smoke screen. I was 50-50. I thought the Lions might be putting out some misinformation to keep Jacksonville from thinking they were all over Hutch.
-
It sounds to me like Hutch is being hurt by the fact he was so productive. People act like he is tapped out or something and doesn't have the upside. Jacksonville should take him #1 and if they don't, the Lions should take him #2. At the end of the day, I think you are splitting hairs any way because it's impossible to predict which end will have the best career. But when 90% of the people who follow this stuff have you as the best prospect, then it becomes pretty obvious what the "right" pick is.
-
Do the majority of lottery picks end up as good as Jerami Grant is right now? I kind of doubt it, especially when you get outside of the top 5. But I am probably biased because of the Pistons futility. Obviously, money and years of control on a rookie deal are factors to consider as well but Portland seems enamored with Grant to the point they may overlook these things.
-
I thought we might get a breakout year out of Candy. His ab's have been horrible though. He is swinging at balls and taking strikes and is always behind in the count. I still think there is a good chance he ends up one of our better hitters but this is a very disappointing start.
-
I guess when you got Castro and Baddoo backing you up, you tend to nibble.
-
Hard to tell when you can't hear anything but I also would put that on Barnhart. But then Alexander also needs to get the F out of the area so Barnhart does not get thrown off by it. Ideally, the first or third baseman calls both of them off.
-
This is an interesting article. I do agree that Bridges is not a great fit with Grant and possibly even without Grant if we are in position to take a guy Holmgren, Murray, Smith, or Banchero. I also definitely agree with Casey that Bey is a better fit at either forward position than shooting guard. I am not a huge fan of signing Brunson. He is a quality player but fit is everything to the Pistons right now. The goal is not to just pickup quality players to be a playoff team. It's to build around a Cade, and to a lesser extent Bey and Stewart, to be a championship team. Brunson is best with the ball in his hands and does not have great size or athleticism for defense. I kind of want somebody next to Cade who can be elite on defense while also play well off the ball. So while I am not really a huge fan of Ivey as a prospect, he does kind of fit the bill for what I want next to Cade.
-
I wouldn't mind the Tigers moving Baddoo back to leadoff to see it can get him going. Get him as many at bats as possible.
-
Yeah. I just think it is "convenient" for certain media to talk about our improvement up the middle but then totally ignore who is playing centerfield. At the moment, it is a problem for us.
-
If Skubal ends up looking like an ace this year and Mize ends up disappointing (either thru injury, performance, or both), is that a win for the Tigers? What is the expected hit rate on top pitching prospects? If we get 1 front end guy, 1 average starter, and 1 fringe starter/long reliever out of the trio of Mize, Skubal, and Manning, is that okay?
-
For all the talk about improving defensively up the middle by local media talking heads, we sure are bad in centerfield right now. I would not bank on improvement from Baddoo even with his speed. Really too bad Hill got injured at the same as Greene.

4/8 1:10 White Sox @ Tigers **OPENING DAY 2022**

If Gibby is just a third "wheel", I am okay with it. But we desperately need a star as either the play by play or color analyst and we have neither. Shep does have the voice for it but I have serious doubts he can grow into it. Time will tell. -
Pretty impressive tanking right there. I am kind of rooting for them to never land in the top 3 with all those picks.
-
Getting to the rim against good defense is the part I have the question about. I have watched his highlights a few times and his baskets at the hoop are usually wide open dunks. That's great but those are hard to come by in meaningful games. Maybe if you watch him on a nightly business, you get to see more of what I see watching Cade on a nightly basis...the ability to finish tough shots going left or right over good defense. If Green has that, watch out.
-
Walker Kessler is another guy that's interesting. Looks like he could be a premium shot blocker and rim protector and it's not unlikely that he develops a jump shot down the line. However, he is not being projected in the lottery at this point so he is really not an option for the Pistons. I like Chet but I think Kessler has more defensive upside. Which is saying something.
-
Davis doesn't excite me. I would not be upset with him in the lower lottery but I would rather keep Grant than draft Davis. The thing I don't know about Grant is what is it going to cost to keep him long term and is he worth the money. But I did think he was playing better after he came back for injury when he let Cade take over as the main option. I can see the argument for trading Grant. The Pistons are in a good spot either way. They just need to make a decision about spending the money to sign him long term.
