I predict that Briceno will be our #1 prospect at the beginning of next season.

Wait a second.
Are you telling me that 4 of the Tigers top 10 prospects were acquired from the Skubal and Mize trades?
I could have sworn people around here told me that Harris just gave them away… and didn’t even listen to other offers.

Top 5 has a ton of juice with each having at least 1 plus tool to go with at least 1 55 tool as well. All but Rainer due by this time next year latest and likely sooner. Rainer in 28 about this time, and Kash may beat him here, who also has a big time ceiling.
Loads of talent to add to a very young team already in place in the D.
Gonna have a very 90s Indians/late 2010s Astros kimd of feel.

# Only three MLB teams have more top-100 prospects than Tigers: Pipeline
The Tigers have infused their farm system with a whole lot of new talent in recent weeks.
As a result, prospect experts have taken notice and given the organization high marks in their latest organizational rankings. MLB Pipeline came out with its latest minor-league refresh rankings Thursday, and it has Detroit fifth in baseball in what it calls “prospect points.”
The Tigers, per MLB Pipeline, trail only the Los Angeles Dodgers, Seattle Mariners, Tampa Bay Rays and San Francisco Giants in prospect points. That’s in large part because the Tigers now have five top-100 prospects, in Pipeline’s view.

One of those prospects remains in prospect status, though how long center fielder Max Clark retains that remains to be seen. Clark was promoted by the Tigers late last month, and appears to be sticking in The Show. For now, Clark is the highest-ranked prospect in the Tigers system followed by outfielder Zyhir Hope (28), shortstop Bryce Rainer (48), right-handed pitcher River Ryan (66) and catcher/first baseman Josue Briceno (69).
Three teams have six players in baseball’s top 100, the Dodgers, Miami Marlins and Mariners. The Tigers are tied with the Rays, Giants and Milwaukee Brewers with five.
Who are the Tigers’ top 10 prospects?
Here are the Tigers’ top 10 prospects, according to MLB Pipeline:
-
- Max Clark, CF (Tigers)
-
- Zyhir Hope, OF (Double A)
-
- Bryce Rainer, SS (High A)

- River Ryan, RHP (Triple A)

Can’t say I’m a big fan of Rainer’s hit tool going down to a 40, but other than that he’s got a very impressive profile.
I see why. It’ll go back up.

5 short of a franchise record, Rainer.
