I can double check later, but something else is off between our calcs as well (only 200 dollars off). Quote
Edman85 Posted July 24 Posted July 24 Nm. You had Oliveto right, but Witherspoon is $1,448,700 which explains the $200. Quote

AlaskanTigersFan Posted July 24 Posted July 24 Crazy still. River Hamilton, Grinsell and Dumesnil were all 2nd round talents. Jacobs could have gone in the first for a while there. Thats some good rounded depth. I like that they targeted a lot of HS's this draft too. Olivito was ranked 50th by ESPN and 59th by Fangraphs. Yost was ranked 36th by Fangraphs. I like Fangraphs a lot. They seem to be more in tune with things if you ask me. Especially with Saberhager and his write ups. https://tigersmlreport.com/2025/07/19/some-thoughts-on-the-2025-detroit-tigers-draft-class/ is a great article if you got time to read. They point out that the pitchers we took have some good upside but have one or two things that could use some fixing. I'm so glad our pitching department has changed so much over the years. We used to be trash at developing pitchers. Now I think Fetter has instilled a great program throughout the organization. Dude better get a raise this year....... He's probably the best coach the Tigers have. Quote
LongLiveMaroth Posted July 24 Posted July 24 One of the rare times that a team won't sign someone in the top 10 rounds. To make it a little more funny, at least to me is he keeps retweeting things about how this is a huge blow to the Pirates draft. My guess is they may have lowballed him and he said ok well I will just go to college and bet on myself. Quote

Arlington Posted July 24 Posted July 24 Someone's revised rankings, forgot whom's, put Dumesnil as the 9th overall ranked Tiger prospect, the highest on their list from this year's draft. That is crazy to get your best prospect right off the bat in such a late round. Quote

theroundsquare Posted July 24 Posted July 24 Anybody got a pronunciation guide on Dumesnil? Is it Do-mez-nill? Do-mess-nill? Dooms-nill? PS: Reighbourne? Quote
casimir Posted July 24 Posted July 24 19 hours ago, AlaskanTigersFan said: Ethan Rogers, LHP, sr., Lone Jack College commitment: Wichita State Drafted: Round 18, Pick 549 Team: Detroit Tigers The MLB Draft is truly a crapshoot. While there were rumblings late in the draft process that at least one team was considering taking Rogers in the early rounds, he and his mid-90s fastball ultimately ended up going to the Tigers in round 18. Rogers went 8-1 this season with a 0.53 ERA for the Mules, who went 29-5. The southpaw struck out 118 batters in 52.2 innings and allowed only 10 hits, 12 runs (4 earned) and walked 33. Not to be overlooked, He also batted .500 (53-for-106) and got on base at a .594 clip with a 1.169 OPS. He scored 45 runs, drove in 30 and stole 28 bases. https://www.si.com/high-school/missouri/2025-mlb-draft-meet-the-former-missouri-high-school-baseball-stars-who-were-selected-01k05xvnhxk5 Woulda been nice to get him for sure. Lone Jack is the name of the high school? It might make for a decent nickname for him. Quote

But based on this spreadsheet, teams are allowed to offer up to $150K to picks after the 10th round without it hitting the cumulative pool “cap”? And as we see with the overages above and beyond $150K to Hamilton and Wimpelberg, those count against the pool? 1 Quote
Arlington Posted July 24 Posted July 24 Malachi and Dumesnil were both signed for a couple thou below slot. Seems odd. How do you justify for example slot is say $650,000 but we are going to give you $648,000? Quote
