I'd be shocked if Hall and Hamilton don't sign. Hall is signing for sure since he was drafted in the first 10 rounds.

Well 13 Pitchers taken; I like seeing that they used their higher picks on position players. They went heavy on pitching last year, and as has been pointed out, a lot of them are on the shelf this year due to injury. When it comes to the draft I am always a proponent of picking talent over position, as you can always trade talent for talent to fill holes. Interestingly, they drafted 7 high schoolers and only one college senior this time around. I doubt they sign all 7 but based on the previous drafts you can tell they have a preference to prep player over college.

McDaniel called the Oliveto pick just chose the wrong round. Coy James is still out there so keep an eye on that as multiple sites have called out that they have been tied to him.

I will say I trust this front office and player personnel to handle a Catching prospect more than most orgs.

Law hates the Tigers again I’ve loved the Tigers’ drafts the last couple of years, and those players’ performances in pro ball to date have been outstanding, but I didn’t like the Tigers’ Day 1 at all this time around. Their first-rounder, Jordan Yost, has no power and at best is a leadoff-type with speed and maybe a higher average/OBP because he makes a lot of contact. Catcher Michael Oliveto is an intriguing upside play, with power potential and the physical tools to stay back there, but he was more of a fourth-round talent for me because he just has a long way to go and because high school catchers have such a high attrition rate. Second-rounder Malachi Witherspoon has a great arm and is an excellent athlete like his brother, Kyson, but he’s a pure reliever and I wouldn’t go that route in the second round.
