Interesting article on ESPN about top pitching prospect shutting it down before the draft to protect their arms. It's insider only though. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/34084142/how-one-pitching-prospect-change-mlb-draft-forever-not-pitching My main takeaway from this is just anger at the Tiger's organization for using top 10 picks on pitching prospects three times since 2016.

Seems like it would be Chet or Banchero that falls if it happens. It seems like this board, myself included, has kind of moved on from the 3 big guys. It would be an interesting dilemma for sure.
-
Seems like this board has really come around on Murray the last 3 weeks.
-
I think Murray is considerably more versatile on offense than Bey. But I do agree with your point about needing athleticism. And I don't know how you get that in the lineup with Bey, Cade, and Murray as your wings. At least Grant gives you some of that. At the same time, Murray, Cade and Bey would be an electric combination on offense. So I don't know. Maybe you draft Murray and then try to find your own version of Marcus Smart.
-
If you draft Murray, I think that means the writing is on the wall that Grant isn't going to be here in two years. I am okay either way. I like Murray the more I learn about him but I also like Grant. Grant doesn't have near Murray's upside on offense but he is probably always going to be a considerably better defensive player.
-
I thought Grant played less hero ball when he came back from his injury and it was clearly Cade's team. I was done with him to that point but it was encouraging to see him defer and play the role he played in Denver.
-
Good call. Definitely a guy worth monitoring closer now. I also think you can make a case that strong obp guys are becoming more valuable with home runs down.
-
I would throw Kreidler in there too even though he got injured so the sample size is smaller.
-
I thought we might have one top 100 prospect once Tork and Greene graduated. Now, depending on how the season plays out, I think it is likely we do better that. I would say Wilmer is more likely than not to end up top 100, possibly even top 50. And then there are a number of guys with a chance to sneak in there. Wenceel, in particular, could shoot up prospect lists if he gets moved up a level and continues his strong season at AA. It would be nice if Dingler could get it going considering he is generally considered one of our higher upside prospects.
-
His recruiting profile lists him at 6'4. Pretty impressive growth spurt. I'm intrigued because part of the reason I like Ivy is for his defensive profile. Sounds like you get something similar with Daniels.
-
I don't how anybody can make a judgement on these pro day workouts. Seems like they are all going to look great. I would put much more stock into measurables and game action.
-
The Tigers have the market cornered on organization depth outfielders. Cameron, Baddoo, Castro, Haase, Reyes...probably a few more I am missing.
-
Time to push him and move him up. There are few things that have gone right for this organization this year but he is one of them. But need to see it at the next level before getting more excited.
-
Yeah...I do think we are missing out on some of his value because we are so bad. Things like base running and defense are valued more on good teams. Home runs stand out whether your team is good or bad. As far as the bat goes, ideally he would be hitting 6 or 7 because the obp is so bad. Not that it really matters on this team.
-
Looking around the internet, here is how the 4 wings being discussed are ranked: ESPN: Ivey, Murray, Sharpe, Mathurin Sam Vecenie: Ivey, Murray, Mathurin, Sharpe Bleacher Report: Ivey, Sharpe, Murray, Mathurin NBAdraft.net: Ivey, Mathurin, Murray, Sharpe This is going to be an interesting 5 weeks to say the least. And somebody further down the list we are not talking about is going to jump up and be in the conversation also.
-
Can Grant be extended as part of the trade? I would think that would have to be a given. I question whether Weaver would make this trade as much as Portland. He loves Grant and may prefer to keep him long term.
-
If the rumors about the Pistons really loving Keegan Murray are true (which they probably are not), you have to wonder if that means they are looking to trade Grant.
-
Is there really a top 3 tier of Smith, Holmgren, and Banchero right now? Or is ESPN just blowing smoke.
-
We'll see how things play out between now and June 23 but as other have said, this really doesn't feel like that big of deal right now. I really have a hard time ranking the order of the top 6 or 7 prospects.
-
I don't know why but I don't want OKC to win this thing.
-
Bummer. Well, at least we got Cade last year. Still, it would have been nice to have one more commercial break of hope.
-
Big step for Flores. He's probably the minor leaguer I am currently most excited about. Not sure that he can make it to the big leagues this year but it seems like he gives us the best chance to have a highly rated prospect next offseason, assuming Greene has graduated from that list.
-
I'd say so. Last year's draft was obviously strong but Wagner, Barnes, Suggs, Giddey, and Kuminga had the same question marks we are asking about this year's prospects. It just so happens they put a lot of the worries people had about them to rest already.
-
I agree for the most part. Even so, I am sitting here excited waiting for the lottery to start.
-
Olson had a great start today. 5 innings, 0 runs, 1 hit, 10 k's.
