I'll let you know after the 2025 season. Bet you can't wait for that!!! Especially because there will be 3 more Avila's worth of draft picks on their way!!!

Tiger337 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 There is nothing wrong with being an optimist. It probably adds a couple of years to your life - the Tigers might finally be good in those years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll go look... But also... "don't increase at all in the top 3" means that once a team starts falling OUT of the top 3 those odds start to decrease, correct? (before I go take a look for the answer myself...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While most of these guys are gritty and easy ones to pull for, that doesn't necessarily translate into quality major leaguers. Give me the primadonna stud ballplayer over the guys that grind and grind just to make it to the majors. If you are relying on those guys as your nucleus, you are probably in the situation the Tigers are in right now. If your top prospects turn out like Mize and Torkelson has so far, you might as well chalk up 90 to 100 losses right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know how Mize and Torkelson are going to turn out. Making assumptions based on the initial adjustments to mlb is pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1984Echoes Posted September 18, 2022 Author Share Posted September 18, 2022 Nothing left of this season except the Lottery to determine where we draft... Currently tied for 3rd worst record... We haven't moved much at all in the standings the past two months... up or down. In the 3rd spot worst we can select is 6th, in the 4th spot worst we can select is 7th... So we'll have a draft spot next year between 1 and 7th it looks like... Something for the new GM whomever he or she may be... to show what their draft philosophy is... I hope it's not a college RH'ed reliever with a 100+ MPH straight fastball and control problems.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate7474 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Not sure that's correct as it looks like you could slid up to 6 spots. At least if this site is correct in displaying the odds and playing with the calculator. https://www.tankathon.com/mlb/pick_odds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apabruce Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 (edited) As has been true most of the season, Washington and Oakland look like a lock for bottom 2 in the standings. With the latest winning streak, the Tigers have overtaken Pittsburgh, the Reds, and KC. They are two games behind Miami and Colorado, each with 65 wins to the Tigers 63. It's not impossible that the Tigers could play their way out of the bottom six. On a side note, the Tigers, with 63 wins, are now guaranteed to have fewer than 100 losses.

Cruzer1 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Next year's draft is pretty strong at the top with position players, and Harris noted that he wants to get more athletic. He'll probably get a chance to improve the athleticism of the system with his first pick. https://www.baseballamerica.com/rankings/top-2023-mlb-draft-prospects/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
