I would agree, Anderson does deserve to be moved up, I just haven't seen any indication of it yet. Trying to find AB's for Jung, Lee and Anderson should be interesting. Wonder if one of them will pick up a 1B or OF glove.

So Valencia gets moved to Toledo; so your top 5 batting order for Erie should be something like this? Clark McGonigle Anderson Briceno Liranzo That looks pretty good.

My guess is when he stops K'ing 30% of the time. That being said if he can limit the strikeouts, I am sure that line would get even better.

Bryce Rainer, Max Clark and Kevin McGonigle have all been immediate hits in pro ball for the Tigers after being taken with first-round picks in the past two drafts. There are some candidates to continue the trend when the Tigers pick at 24 and 34, including Kayson Cunningham, Jaden Fauske, Slater de Brun and Sean Gamble, though the Tigers have also been tied to Michael Oliveto (may fit better in the second round) and Coy James (right-handed hitter). When a team has two early picks, it often gets tied to lots of players because, in different scenarios, it could go over or under slot or high school or college or hitter or pitcher at each spot. Anthony Eyanson, Aaron Watson and J.B. Middleton are some of the pitchers the Tigers have been tied to, and keep an eye on Jaiden LoRe (another right-handed-hitting shortstop) as a target at a later pick.

You have to think Max Anderson is soon to follow but they have been playing him at 3rd the last couple of games so maybe he'll stick in Erie to learn that position more. I don't think he has the arm or athleticism for that position but it's the minors so you might as well find out.

Got him for Chafin last deadline. Good pickup so far by Harris

I am now very interested in who gets moved up and down respectively as well. Strong and Franyerber moving up possibly.

These graphics are pretty good.

Keith has a .302 BA with an +.800 OPS over the last 30 games.

https://www.mlb.com/milb/news/mlb-pipeline-mock-draft-july-3-2025?t=mlb-draft-coverage Cunningham dropping to us would be ideal. Reminds me a bit of McGonigal with a good hit tool but uncertainty about is he a 2B or SS.
