MOD: Detroit Tigers

This is the Tigers MOD, so what does that mean? It means we will draft and sign the best player available, now matter their signability!!! Scott Boras, come on down! We will pay your players! The system has lots of needs after last winter's strip down, and I'm not sure a top player falls to us at 21, but I'm crossing my fingers for Eric Hosmer. If anyone would fall, it would be a high school 1B with a $7 M demand. If that doesn't work could also use a reliever who could have a quick impact, IE Josh Fields, Andrew Cashner and Ryan Perry immediately come to mind

First three

21

67

99

Deputy duties are open.

Poll
Considering availability, who do you most likely see at 21?
  • Eric Hosmer
  • Gerrit Cole
  • Josh Fields
  • Andrew Cashner
  • Brett Wallace
  • Jemile Weeks
  • Ryan Perry
  • Alex Meyer
  • Casey Kelly

Tigers

Gerrit Cole and Eric Hosmer are good candidates to fall in the real draft due to bonus demands, but likely won’t in this mock.

Definitely go with the best player available approach, regardless of position. Zach Putnam and David Adams have both been drafted by the Tigers before, but both would be reaches at #21 and likely won’t be available at #67. Kent State’s Chris Carpenter is another guy that the Tigers have drafted before, and while he has a good arm, I wouldn’t use a first round pick on a guy with his injury history. Fields and Cashner are both good options. I’m a little uneasy about Perry, but maybe that’s just me. Aaron Hicks and Casey Kelly are a couple of high school guys that interest me.
