Hopefully Jobe can develop into a true #1. I worry the Tigers won't pony up for Skubal. If that's the case, we need Jobe to be the guy unless Mize turns out to be for real..... Quote
Arlington Posted May 3 Posted May 3 Jobe and no. 2 pick Jack Leiter have pretty much the same ML service time. Leiter was the college pitcher thought to have the quicker path. Same was said about Ty Madden a college arm whom the Tigers were thrilled to get with the 32nd pick. The Tiger with the most service time from that draft is former collegiate ... (answer in next post). Quote
Arlington Posted May 3 Posted May 3 (edited) the Yankees pick at #20 Trey Sweeney. EDIT That may be wrong. Brant Hurter was in that draft. Too lazy to look up service times but he may have beat out Sweeney. Edited May 3 by Arlington Quote
Tenacious D Posted May 3 Posted May 3 The Tigers have five 1st rounders on their roster and two 2nd rounders, if you include Parker who should be on the active squad. Quote

RatkoVarda Posted Wednesday at 03:11 PM Posted Wednesday at 03:11 PM sportswriters are desperate for the Tigers to draft Jack Bauer at 24 https://www.mlb.com/milb/news/mlb-pipeline-2025-mock-draft-may-6?t=mlb-draft-coverage 24. Tigers: Slater de Brun, OF, Summit HS, Bend, Ore. (No. 25) As a smaller, lefty-hitting sparkplug from the Pacific Northwest, de Brun has a lot of similarities to Corbin Carroll at the same stage of their careers. Quote
