LongLiveMaroth Posted July 17 Posted July 17 https://www.mlb.com/milb/news/2025-mlb-draft-favorite-picks-pipeline?t=mlb-draft-coverage Tigers: River Hamilton, RHP (11th round) In the past, clubs had a night to figure out how much money they could use in Rounds 11-20, when only the overage on bonuses above $150,000 count against the pool. This year, they had an hour break. Detroit seems to believe it can find space for Hamilton, the 99th-ranked player on MLB Pipeline’s Top 250. The Oregon prep right-hander, who has an LSU commitment, is projectable at 6-foot-3, is already up to the mid-90s with his fastball and shows the makings of a solid slider and changeup. Quote
LongLiveMaroth Posted July 17 Posted July 17 https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/45709418/mlb-draft-2025-kiley-mcdaniel-recap-analysis-all-30-teams#det Detroit Tigers Best value: River Hamilton (11th round) and Ethan Rogers (18th round). I'll presume Hamilton has a deal done, as most 11th-rounders do, and Rogers might be less likely to sign. Hamilton had third-to-fourth round interest as an athletic righty with above-average stuff, and Rogers' interest was even a touch higher, as a lefty into the mid-90s with an average-to-above four-pitch mix. Quickest to the big leagues: Caleb Leys (fourth round). I mentioned Detroit's interest in Rogers and Leys in the Friday mock. He could be a quick-mover if he's developed in relief because of his mid-90s heater and being a 22-year-old senior. Sleeper to watch: Malachi Witherspoon (No. 62 overall). Kyson's twin brother had buzz as high as the late 20s and seemed likely to go inside of No. 50, so landing him at No. 62 is a nice value. He isn't that different from Kyson, though just a tick behind in a couple of respects. One big thought: Doubling down on prep hitters who are missing the prime summer showcase events on their résumé is intriguing with Jordan Yost (No. 24 overall) and Michael Oliveto (No. 34 overall) as their top two picks, but also seems like a strategy in light of their interest in Coy James (bad 2024 summer numbers, better 2023 summer performance) whom the Nats drafted. Scouting director Mark Conner was the director in San Diego in 2021 when they hit it big with Jackson Merrill with a similar lack of high-level summer at-bats, so maybe Detroit has uncovered a way to find value in the most competitive part of the draft?

Edman85 Posted July 18 Posted July 18 (edited) Yost gets 3.25M, a little under a half million under slot. Per Callis. Edited July 18 by Edman85 1 Quote
1984Echoes Posted July 19 Author Posted July 19 What is Hamilton's ask? That alone could get us Hamilton if his ask is $500-600K... But I think we will see some more under slot signings... adding to a potential 11th round bonus offer. Just a guess... Quote
LongLiveMaroth Posted July 19 Posted July 19 Almost a million saved here, River Hamilton is definitely signing. 1 Quote

CaliforniaDreaming Posted July 22 Posted July 22 Looks like we are having a difficult time signing those odd numbers: rounds 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 17, 19 still unsigned. 18 is the only even number unsigned. Quote
