    I thought that Law breakdown was pretty fair and more pleasant than normal for his Tigers analysis.

    McDaniel on the draft


    1 (3): Jackson Jobe, RHP, Heritage Hall HS (OK)
    CB-A (32): Ty Madden, RHP, Texas
    2 (39): Izaac Pacheco, SS, Friendswood HS (TX)
    3 (74): Dylan Smith, RHP, Alabama
    4 (104): Tyler Mattison, RHP, Bryant University

    The Tigers' rebuild is going pretty well on the strength of hitting on their recent top-10 picks but doing just OK on the picks outside of the first round, though last year's second pick Dillon Dingler is breaking that trend.

    Jobe is risky due to his demographic but might be the best prep pitching prospect in years. I like the aggressive bet on upside and confidence in their evaluation, but all four prep shortstops were there, and I would've taken all of them over Jobe. Detroit has made some strides in the pitch design arena, and Madden was a good value at No. 32 (I'm assuming for over slot), but I'm not sure they're the best organization to figure out how to optimize a pitcher who will probably need to morph a bit into a sinker/slider mid-rotation type; it'll be a good barometer for where their pitching development is.

    Pacheco has a long track record of hitting, with some power and hot corner defense, and probably would have been drafted in the next dozen picks if the Tigers didn't take him at No. 39. Smith is a solid value as an upside college arm with a breakout 2021, and Mattison hit 99 mph at the draft combine, as another power arm in the Tigers' preferred mold. I liked a handful of other names in this class as role player types, so I like the chances of this class returning some value beyond the first pick.

    His preference against HS pitchers in the draft is perfectly fine. It's kind of annoying that the way he states it is essentially saying "no matter what happens, I'm right," though. His point isn't "Jobe is talented, but I could never take that much risk with a pick that high". It's "any team that takes Jobe is dumb even if he turns out to be exactly as good as they think he is." I think that's a bit much.

    I also think his "base rate neglect" point doesn't hold up that well. I get that HS pitchers have a bad track record, but historically speaking I think there's a difference in said track record between someone like Jobe (very athletic, didn't pitch full time until his SR year, didn't throw 90+ until he was almost 18 years old, etc.) compared to the Tyler Kolek's and Riley Pint's of the world. He might get hurt or lose MPH on the fastball or whatever. He's a pitcher, and that happens to a lot of them (college and pro). I just don't see a point in throwing Jobe into the same bucket and asking zero questions about it as pitchers who busted out or made it who are nothing like him.

    Skubal was a 9th round pick in 2018, not sure how Kiley missed that. However, other than Dinger, he’s right. Not great after round 1. Would be curious to see what other teams success rate looks like and compare it to Avila.

    Dingler has a .568 ops since moving up to AA. Jury is still out on him.

    Hell even our first rd picks since 2015 have included Burrows, Stewart and Faedo who have contributed nothing and Manning who also I'd say jury is still out on. Mize and Tork were no Brainer picks and Greene went to HS with our head scout

    Drafting has been horrendous, only picks they have made well have been ones everyone would make

    im hoping they replace him, gibby, Morris, Monroe after the season. Need a better product, especially with team getting better. Can’t imagine TV ratings are great.

    I did not expect the Tigers to come out of the break with a sweep. The rotation is in shape, but they're patching it together. Winning 73 games this year would be quite an achievement and they are slightly ahead of that pace with 68 games remaining.

    I actually saw much of Sat's opener and Sunday's game. They're not on TV here that much.

    They looked...decent? Defense was crisp. Some speed on the bases and the bullpen was competent. Gibby was entirely unintelligible.

    Seeing Castro at the Mud Hens game was pretty cool yesterday. He homered 1st pitch he saw and sent a liner up the middle.

    Played good defense. Definitely seemed to have confidence out there and didn’t seem to pout from demotion.

    Fun time.

    Interesting. So is Jobe getting close to slot. Tigers fucked up by saying they thought he was best player in the draft

    Potentially big night for the run differential if the pen can avoid throwing up on itself.
