SATURDAY SURVEY.
Totally Tigers

The Detroit Tigers just participated in the International Draft and selected 6 players. This is the first year that Detroit has seriously involved itself in signing international players after brooming and rebuilding the departments involved. The new program is overseen by Rob Metzler who came from the Tampa Bay Rays.
They signed Cris Rodriguez who is the #4 international prospect as well as another player hitting the top 100 prospect list.
Rodriguez will turn 17 in a couple weeks. It could be at least 4 years before he would make his debut in Detroit.
The Tigers have completely rebuilt their player development program and are turning out some impressive talent. Their farm system continues to maintain a top ranking from #1 to #3 depending upon the group doing the evaluation.
However, the international players signed are so very young and the wait for them to develop is longer than the regular MLB Draft. During their minor league time, so many things about them can change.

How do you feel about the new players coming into the Tigers’ system?
How do you feel about the Tigers' International Draft results?

1. Excited about the future w/Rodriguez and Jose Ramirez (#54 ranked).

2. Wake me when they hit AA.

3. Not thrilled with the International Draft.

this is really disappointing. I was hoping that the guy would have picked some other team since it "wasn't about money". This is the last thing the Dodgers need...a young controlable pitcher that cost them virtually nothing.

This was a no brainer. Almost guarantee they knew months ago and the interviews, narrowing of time was just all BS. He was always going to the west, they always do - and LA was always tops. I never say this about players but I hope he completely blows.

I understand why they would want to play on the west coast. I was just hoping it wouldn't be the Dodgers.
