Good, you guys have a lot of young talent, that should be fun to watch.
I hope they trade Schoop and give Lipcius a shot. He’d be a great 9 hole hitter with his OBP skills, to feed Riley and company.

Seems to me you have a pretty solid understanding of the players. I don't think they want to give up on Baddoo and Cisneros just yet but it's hard to know what Harris will do.
Actually I’m gonna keep Baddoo. His 2021 season was very well rounded, and he could get OF reps against a tough lefty.
What happened to him this year?
Cisnero seems to have a few things working against him. He’s 33, set to make 2.5-3M in his last year of arbitration, and his BB rate is increasing. I think they could fill his role with a pitcher who is younger, cheaper, and has option years.

Hey Tigers fans, Braves fan here who is tracking your rebuild for fun, since the new hire. I like to play what would I do.I didn’t want to start a thread, but I wanted to give my thoughts on the 2023 40 man roster, and get some feedback from you guys who know these players so much more than I do.
I have 27 keepers, 18 off the 40 man and IL and 11 added. Short and Cameron are out of options or I’d keep them.
You guys are deep in pitching. You really only need a couple of Bats that aren’t blocking the kids to shore up the lineup
I think Benintendi would be a great FA sign. Combined with Riley, Javy, and Tork could give you guys a formidable top 4.
Id expect some infield prospects to be traded at some point. My guess would be Workman and Manuel Seguera.
Eduardo Rodriguez (L) Tarik Skubal (L) Matt Manning Spencer Turnbull Joey Wentz (L) Gregory Soto (L) Andrew Chafin (L) Joe Jiminez Alex Lange Will Vest Angel Dejesus Jason Foley Rony Garcia Casey Mize Alex Faedo Beau Brieske Garrett Hill Eric Haase Spencer Torkelson Brendon Davis Javier Baez Ryan Kreidler Austin Meadows (L) Riley Greene Kerry Carpenter (L) Jake Rogers Miguel Cabrera Jonathan Schoop Trade Andre Lipcius Daz Cameron DFA-off 40 Parker Meadows (L) Zach Short DFA-off 40 Corey Joyce Kody Clemens (L) DFA-off 40 Wenceel Perez (S) Jaime Candelerio (S) Trade Andrew Navigato Tyler Alexander (L) Trade Reese Olsen Jose Cisneros Non-tender Drew Carlton Luis Castillo Release Zack Hess Josh Lester (L) Release Quincy Neiporte Drew Hutchinson Non-tender Austin Bergner Victor Reyes (S) Non-tender Dane Myers Harold Castro (L) Non-tender Akil Baddoo DFA-off 40 Ali Sanchez DFA-off 40 Elvin Rodriguez Release Luis Garcia (S) Release Bryan Garcia Release Kyle Funkhowser Release
Trying to sift through the infield prospects
in Detroit Tigers

Hey All, I've been trying to sift through the infield prospects to see where all these guys are going to play. Some will be kept, some will be traded, and some will flame out. Who knows what the new regime will do, but speculation is the fun part. The info below is a breakdown of each player. This is not my opinion, just info from the net. The Best fit is my opinion though.
Here are my thoughts and I'd love to hear from anyone who has seen any of these kids live or has some more info. There's a lot of talent here!
I think Graham should be taking balls in RF. Graham has that tall lanky body with big strides and a strong arm, that says RF to me. He looks like a skinnier Christain Yelich
I think Colt Keith wil be the long term starter at 3B. He reminds me of Austin Riley who also played football and pitched in high school at MS. He should keep improving, focusing on only hitting. Riley struggled after every promotion then adjusted like Keith has done.
Pacheco should also see some time in RF. He has the power profile, arm, and athleticism to excel in the OF. He could also be the long term starter at 3B if Keith should falter.
Santana is going to be a stud. He'll be a long term solution at SS or 2B depending on where Baez's defense is at when he's ready. Bastidas could also be the long term SS when he's ready. He's a glove first/ improving bat SS.
I really like Wenceel and Seretti as switch hitting UT options, although both are capable of starting at 2B.
I don't really see where Jung and Gold fit right now with little information on both outside of being polished college hitters. They both seem destined for LF/1B/DH type roles if they stay Tigers. There are more athletic options for 2B and better strong armed prospects for 3B in the mix.
Workman and Segura seem to be the most likely traded, mainly due to their lack of plate discipline and high K rates. Workman is a wild card though, he could turn in to something valuable or be a total flop. Segura is more just a numnbers thing. He'll probably mature into a 3B where we seem stocked.
Lipcius is more of a place holder til Perez/Seretti is up and Cruz is very meh. A 24 year old glove only SS could be found anywhere.
