Expand Would that mean the Tigers have already had conversations with him and his agent about his willingness to sign? Quote

If he signs they might send him to rookie ball in Lakeland for the rest of the year then likely west michigan to start next year. If he doesn't sign he can go to school, isn't draft eligible until 2026 and we get pick 4 next year. Expand So we would get whatever pick we earn and #4 or just the #4? Quote

HeyAbbott Posted July 9, 2023 Posted July 9, 2023 Maybe there is a feeling by Harris and company that it is time to create a wave after Kieth and Parker meadows. I will pencil him in at 2027. Quote

Expand We'd get pick 4 and whatever pick we earn from this current season so likely we'd be looking at 2 top 5-10 picks. Still though I put the chances of him not signing at like 5% or less just based off of history. It happens here and there but very rarely, particularly since the new slotting system has been put in place. 1 Quote

Hongbit Posted July 10, 2023 Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) Non issue on what happens if he doesn’t sign. Sounds like the team and his agent agreed to pay him the #4 pick slot. Edited July 10, 2023 by Hongbit Quote
SeattleMike Posted July 10, 2023 Posted July 10, 2023 Manfred just mispronounced Oregon. Embarrassing, especially because he's in the PNW. 1 Quote

Tigermojo Posted July 10, 2023 Posted July 10, 2023 We wait for Malloy, Keith and Jung to figure out their defense and position. All Clark has to do is prove he can hit. We know his speed and arm are already going to have an impact. I'm happy because I prefer guys who can hit and play defense. I think the only real question with Clark is how much power will he have 20 HR? 30HR? He's going to hit. 1 Quote

Expand 99% assuredly. Teams' background research includes conversations on signing. This is probably true from around the 1st to maybe 5th rounds where it gets harder to predict who falls at around there. I think that's how we signed Colt Keith in the 5th when we drafted him out of HS... 1 Quote
