Not enough to mock him there just yet, but enough that I’d consider him the second most likely player to go first behind Crews. 37. Detroit Tigers Pick: Tommy Troy, SS, Stanford Expand A Langford-Troy 3/37 pick would be a nice get for Harris. 1 Quote

RandyMarsh Posted July 6, 2023 Posted July 6, 2023 Yeah I prefer Langford just cause I think his bat is a little better(Crews defense is better though) but I'll gladly take either. But let's be real we all know how this is gonna turn out, the guy we don't get will turn into Mike Trout and the guy we draft will be a bust. 1 Quote
kdog Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 ESPN has the top 3 as Skenes, Crews, Langford this morning. Keith Law has Langford, Skenes, and Crews to Detroit. Quote

theroundsquare Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 Law hates the Tigers so he wants us to feel the pain of three draft busts Quote

Tenacious D Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 Baseball needs to allow picks to be traded. Would just make everything more interesting. 1 Quote

Shinzaki Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 You know Avila would have suggested trading that Verlander pick for Ricky Ledee Quote

I think he would have traded any picks we had for vets. Quote

Expand Some picks are allowed to be traded. I understand why they don't allow draft day trades, though. The pace of the later rounds would make it drag for many additional if trades reset everything.

I think Avila was pretty consistent in his goal of acquiring and retaining young players. He just wasn't particularly good at it and he was bad at other things such as free agent signings.

RatkoVarda Posted July 8, 2023 Posted July 8, 2023 Like ESPN, Pipeline has Skenes - Crews - Langford, and then with LHP Whitman (Kent St) at 37 https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-pipeline-2023-mock-draft-july-6?t=mlb-draft-coverage Quote
RandyMarsh Posted July 9, 2023 Posted July 9, 2023 I'm at the point where I'm going to be deeply disappointed if we don't end up with Crews or Langford. Quote
Edman85 Posted July 9, 2023 Posted July 9, 2023 It is a good year to have a ton of draft pool money to play with... 1 Quote
Tigermojo Posted July 9, 2023 Posted July 9, 2023 I'm looking forward to what the new front office can do. Rob Metzler was with the Rays for a long time. They've had some pretty good success in the draft. Quote

Very MLB like approach at the plate - no wasted motion or excess kick to have to get rid of, gets his front foot down fast and easy power to all fields. In the OF he can dive, run, basket catch. None of it means he can hit MLB breaking balls, but if he fails he's going to look good doing it. Quote
Tigeraholic1 Posted July 9, 2023 Posted July 9, 2023 Still wouldn’t be mad if they grabbed him. Quote
