Tigermojo Posted July 4 Posted July 4 Harris will pick up a couple mediocre bullpen guys who will have huge breakout second half. 1 Quote
microline133 Posted July 4 Posted July 4 Josue Briceno, as a prospect, is exceptionally overrated. Quote

Shinzaki Posted July 5 Posted July 5 SP Alcantara from the Marlins would be interesting...year out from TJ..starting to come around after a rough start Quote

The "Ice Age" cold streaks are annoying... What if the Braves decided to trade us Austin Riley and wanted Tork plus Jung plus Montero? Don't laugh... It's the middle of the night and I'm sleep-typing... Edited July 5 by 1984Echoes Quote

I’m not sure the Marlins are all that savvy when it comes to prospect trades. Quote

papalawrence Posted July 5 Posted July 5 Not sure how he can be "highly" overrated. He's fooling all of the prospects sites Quote

He's fooling all of the prospects sites I am not agreeing or disagreeing with micro on Briceno, but someone can be ranked high by all prospect sites and still be overrated. The prospect rankings have a great deal of uncertainty and I think they sometimes copy each other. Quote

However, when they do, it’s exciting, but I doubt anyone can reliably predict who it’s going to be. That’s why you collect as many as you can. 4 Quote

That’s why you collect as many as you can. and there is always that level of misdirection between a guy (esp a collegiate) who is attractive because he has a very 'mature' game but in reality is already at his ceiling and ends up not making it, and a guy (esp a prep) who has a lot of holes in his game but still ends up closing all those holes and hitting the higher ceiling.

Cruzer1 Posted July 6 Posted July 6 Hot take: I think the Tigers prospects are better than the players they could be traded for. I'm talking about Melton and Anderson, right off the bat. Melton would be a huge get for the bullpen, or in the rotation. Quote

I agree with this, but don’t agree that Briceno is overrated (though that is a very subjective term). I think he’s flying a bit under the radar nationally, especially based on what he did in the AFL and offensively in High A. It seems like he’ll hit, but finding a position might be tricky. That uncertainty makes him a viable trade option if another team values the bat. Quote

I think Melton sees time this season, similar to what they did with Jobe (but sooner). Quote
