Re: Earning Our Stripes || The Detroit Tigers [V2]
SP Manuel Velasco Rd 1, Pick 22 - SP (LHP) Manuel Velasco - AGE: 22 - 6'2/186 LBS - POT: B - OVR: 55 - MTB ETA: 2019
ANALYSIS: Projected to be a Top 10 Pick, somehow fell to 22 and right in the Tigers Lap. Stands at 6'2 and throws some heat hitting high 90's on the radar gun. Will be a #2 or #3 starter.
Rd 1, Pick 32 - SP (RHP) Jeff Rossi - AGE: 22 - 6'2/204 LBS - POT: A - OVR: 54 - MLB ETA: 2020
ANALYSIS: Rossi has all the tools to be a dominate starter, started for Vanderbilt and dominated hitters, could form a great 1,2 punch with Velasco.
Rd 2, Pick 20 - SP (LHP) Lee Roberson - AGE: 21 - 6'0/193 LBS - POT: B - OVR: 62 - MTB ETA: 2018
ANALYSIS: The club snagged Roberson, projected to be a top 30 pick, slid all the way to the 2nd round. Roberson, Rossi and Velasco give the Tigers some young arms that could be the front end of the rotation for the Tigers in the future or could potentially be trade bait in search of a big name down the road.
Rd 3, Pick 23 - 2B (R/R) Clay Winters - AGE: 21 - 5'10/183 LBS - POT: C - OVR: 71 - MLB ETA: 2018
ANALYSIS: An impressive athlete, Winters was projected to go in the first couple rounds but fell due to questions about his defense and durability concerns.
Rd 4, Pick 24 - RP (RHP) Casey Green - AGE: 21 - 6'3/222 LBS - POT: C - OVR: 53 - MTB ETA: 2020
ANALYSIS: A reliever that pounds the strike zone, has connections to a couple of other players the Tigers selected from the same school as Jeff Rossi. Has a low 90's FB and mixes a variety of other pitches.
Rd 5, Pick 25 - RF (R/S) Jason Rico - AGE: 22 - 6'3/224 LBS - POT: C - OVR: 67 - MLB ETA: 2016
ANALYSIS: Rico is a power guy, has corner outfielder or DH written all over him. Has potential to hit 30-45 HR's and drive in 70-100 RBI, flat out destroys the ball.
Rd 6, Pick 25 - 1B (R/R) Johnny Haley - AGE: 18 - 5'10/183 LBS - POT: D - OVR: 43 - MTB ETA: NONE
ANALYSIS: Looks destined for a career in the minor leagues, lacks the size to last at 1B, still young and could grow.
