OSFM 2016: Detroit Tigers

[Ivanhoe]

They're killing us with all of these signing. If they do sign Harrell, please send us the CAP and thanks for the heads up and the help.

The problem with all these signings is that many of these players are likely just getting a"chance" to make the team. While we can create them all, a good number of them will end up being cut after Spring Training is over. An example is Luke Carlin who at age 35 has been signed to a minor league contract.

As for top 20 prospects, in helping create players I stayed away from creating anyone whose whole experience so far is limited to A short season and/or Gulf Coast League. For prospects at these lowest levels there may be great "hope", but the players are still untested and many see their numbers drop off dramatically as they move up through the levels.

Bobby Parnell signs with the Detroit Tigers.

Ivanhoe,

But the good news is that Bobby Parnell pitched for the Mets in 2015 in the Majors and so he is a SCEA player. Thus, we should not need to create him.

Ivanhoe,

SB Nation (www.minorleagueball.com) just posted (February 21) their list of top 20 prospects for the Detroit Tigers for 2016. This report is always good as it gives "Grades". I always consider the "others of notes" as being at least C's. You may wish to adjust some of the player potentials based on this report, if you believe it is appropriate.

Karle.

Good catch, Karle! I'll look at this tonight. I've been using the Baseball America Handbook as a guide but I think the more info the better.
