Tigers FO thread, Scott Harris Pres. of Baseball Ops,Tigers Hire Jeff Greenberg GM

You need 4/5 relievers who capitch in leverage one of whom is a closer..understand draft and develop is a 2 part equation..you draft then develop..and until they play productively in the majors you only completed 50% of the job..So where are the Tigers.

Are they better than Scott harris found them..or just a different version of the same thing..pushing off into the distance the answer based on version where you wait 5 years to find out like Al Avila tried and failed at..you tell me.

Since Scott Harris was hired less than 2 years ago, the Tigers have been regularly churning their roster. To the point where only 2 positional players remain in their same positions today – Jake Rogers and Javier Baez. One because of his performance, the other because of his contract.
Harris has emphasized that the Tigers are trying to build their core group of players as well as their foundation. A number of players have been on this roster – and a number of them have either returned to Toledo or left the organization.

But while we focus on the big names, there are a number of players who are sneaking into the lineup more often because they are performing consistently. Flying under the radar.
And they just may turn out to be part of that core.
Granted, their positions may change due to trades and call-ups. But I expect these 5 under-the-radar guys to be part of the next competitive Tigers team:

If she is giving proper credit, Greene, Carpenter, and Meadows were drafted and mostly developed under AA...just like Tork. Until the players that he selected develop, this is the list that means the most to me (100% Harris guys). Most of these guys are turds.

• Matt Vierling
• Zach McKinstry
• Andy Ibanez
• Trey Sweeney
• Kenta Maeda
• Shelby Miller
• Sean Guenther
• Justyn-Henry Malloy
• Tyler Holton
• Bryan Sammons
• Brenan Hanifee

Tigers fans might owe Scott Harris a massive apology when all is said and done

Against all odds, Scott Harris' long-term strategy for the Tigers seems to be working.

now she is claiming that the Tigers invented the idea of a reliever starting the game? The Tampa Bay Rays starting doing this in 2018. She'll say just about anything to prop up Harris and Co.

We know that the overall success of a team is due to a variety of factors: the players, manager, coaches, mental strengths, strategies, etc. No one group gets the credit. It is truly a team effort.
The Tigers have played above .500 baseball since July 1st and they have taken most of the series they have played since then. They have won the 3rd most games in MLB since the All-Star break.

Today, let’s analyze one of these factors – the players. Which 5 would you say have been the MVPs of the roster during the months of July and August?
There’s 1 caveat: You cannot select a player who has been on the IL for a significant time during those 2 months. You also can’t select a player who was traded in July. This means that Riley Greene, Kerry Carpenter and Parker Meadows are ineligible for consideration.
Others players who were just recently called up from Toledo (like Trey Sweeney) are also excluded from consideration.

So who would you pick? Give us your 5 candidates. Extra points for alphabetizing so that everyone reading them can compare the lists more easily.
