That's fair, I looked at his stats and was very surprised to see him that high. With Harris coming into his own the Braves didn't exactly need a CF anyways.

Waters was Atlanta's #1 prospect and Hoffman their 23rd according to MLB. Seems like a lot but we will see how it pans out.

Quite the haul for KC and the 35th pick 👀

The Athletic's last mock before the real deal. Has Jung taken at 11 and Neto at 7. 12. Detroit Tigers: Gavin Cross, OF, Virginia Tech Heard the Tigers with Cross, Barriera, Chase Delauter, Porter, Cole Young and Daniel Susac. I haven’t heard anyone with Carson Whisenhunt yet, but he’d fit for them in multiple ways. I don’t think they take an injured pitcher, and I would be surprised if they were in the Jett Williams market.

Needs to work on his base stealing if he wants to get to the show obviously.

I am guessing this is hyperbole, but I mean Tork is 22 and spent what 1 year in the minors. I think he could use some time in AAA but to be that down on him already I mean that seems a bit much. As for Grossman, yeah bring up Baddoo please or Carpenter for that matter.

Crouch with a nice inside out swing.

Perez hit a 2 run shot to start the scoring off with Dingler following suit. https://twitter.com/tigersMLreport/status/1546182238093574147?t=Z_NPsWPP5dP_5cwQjRjb-A&s=19

Madden with a 5IP 1H 6K performance. Get this kid to Erie!

Nothing too crazy to report from last nights minors. Olson went 5 innings but gave up 5 ER; W. Perez went 2/3 with 2 2B for Erie. One player I am starting to look at is Josh Crouch in WM; not sure if he is just org filler but he is 23 batting .301/.395/.833 this year and a pretty solid K/BB ratio.

Flores and Dingler representing Tigers for the futures game

Sale was none too happy with his performance in a rehab start...

Erie wins behind 4 strong innings from Flores; Perez and Meadows both go 0-5 (yikes) Lipcius went 3-5; Workman went 3-4 with a double short of the cycle. If Workman could get the K's under control that would make him a much more attractive prospect but then again that could be said about a lot of prospects.

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/07/rockies-designate-colton-welker-for-assignment.html Might not be a bad idea to pick him up and stash him on the 40.

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if two of the three Flores, Madden, Olsen make it for the 100 list.

I decided to look at June stats for some of the top hitting prospects. Overall not bad some obviously with better months than others. Santana and Compos had a SSS for the month but figured I would include them. Meadows: .301/.385/.506 Perez: .396/.558/.954 Lipcius: .384/.505/.589 Dilinger: .218/.310/.391 Workman: .205/.239/.325 Pacheco: .281/.333/.393 Campos: .281/.379/.404 Santana: .225/.433/.347

The firm of Perez, Lipcius and Meadows put in some work last night unfortunately Olson didn't fair too well. Olson 3.2IP 5H 4ER 7K Perez 2/4, 3B, BB, RBI, SB Lipcius 2/2, 2B, 3BB, Parker Meadows 3/4, BB, RBI Pacheco with the golden sombrero 0/4 4K in Lakeland

Yeah, that's going to be a no from me. That being said if they did draft him I wouldn't riot as he is a solid prospect but I would just prefer a college bat like Jace Jung or Jacob Berry if fell to us. I just wouldn't love that risk with us not having a 3rd and no longer having the comp pick as well. Last year when Jobe was drafted I wasn't exactly thrilled but I think getting Madden and Pachenco helped lessen that feeling.

The Athletic with their assumptions on who could be traded and the possible return. Nothing earth shattering, mainly RP which makes sense given the BP strength so far. Fulmer, Soto, Chafin, Grossman, Schoop are listed with Soto bringing back the biggest return for obvious reasons. They also made the assumption that the Dodgers may be the best trade partner for us with the possibility of Fulmer going there with the possible return of Eddys Leonard or Jorbit Vivas which all things considered I would consider a win if that happened especially since our personnel are pretty familiar with the Dodgers system.

Well here's hoping one of the better college bats fall to us then.

Don't look now but Parker Meadows has an 860+ ops over the last 30 games. You have to wonder if the change in development personal has anything to do with the new found success for players like him and Perez. Both are still just 22 as well.

Now would be a nice time for a 3-run job from one of the Rooks.
