Tenacious D Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 maybe not considered late round, but both Brant Hurter (7th round) and RJ Petit (14th round) have both pitched very impressively at High A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottwood Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Kind of a meh second day, which is to be expected with their limited draft pool money. Michael in the 10th round is at least an interesting pick for a guy who is probably going under slot. The Tigers still skew more traditional rather than data focused in the draft. But, walking out of the draft with Jung and Graham was much better than I expected going in so it's been a good draft overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1984Echoes Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I like Melton too... He seems like he has some development upside. Not power... I don't think he gets to higher than low-to-mid 90's, where he's already at... but his secondary pitches could get a real nice bump so... we'll see.

KL2 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 1 hour ago, Tenacious D said: yep. but I think we'd agree that his performance is unusual for someone drafted in that round. plus, one of our resident prospect experts already said he's just an organizational guy. You take shortstop because they are most likely to move to another porisiton. Hard to move a right fielder somewhere. If kreider is good and you moved Oklahoma boy to center then you've addressed your need. On the other hand if kreider sucks and you drafted a right fielder you still have no shortstops.

It doesn't even matter who they put there, it will be an upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtutiger Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I know that they were trying to go underslot, but the pick I didn't quite understand today was Jake Miller. I know they are all lottery tickets, but outside of his relatively good K/9 and BB/9 numbers, didn't see much to suggest any chance of success.

Yes, but you don't draft for that as a ceiling, you draft for stars, settle for anything less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkelly Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Anybody who is competent in the majors should be considered a success regardless of where they were drafted. i.e. Beau Briske. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they are hoping to save enough with all of these college kids that they can do an over slot with a HS player tomorrow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They took 3 senior signs. I don't believe they'll need to go overslot on any of their other picks, so they should have some surplus to have fun with.
