Nutriaitch Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Not going to get too much into the actual season that just happened, good, bad, coaching decisions, players, etc. purpose of this is who do we lose and who do we keep? and not going to take any guess on incoming players yet (freshmen, transfers, etc.) Also, really only going to dive into the guys that were regular contributors this year. Definitely Gone: Ma'Khail Hilliard Devin Fontenot Trent Vietmeier All of these guys have been Tigers through and through for what feels like a decade, and are out of eligibility. Thank you for your service gentlemen and good luck going forward. Realistically Gone: Jacob Berry Cade Doughty Pretty much only way either of these guys come back is if MLB completely cancels entire draft and doesn't allow incoming prospects. Possibly Gone / Possibly Back: Gavin Dugas My gut is that after an injury plagued year with numbers below what was expected, he'll be back. Draft Eligible but not going anywhere: Alex Milazzo Not Draft eligible (not guessing on transfer possibilities): Dylan Crews Ty Floyd Jordan Thompson Tre' Morgan Riley Cooper Garrett Edwards Blake Money Will Hellmers Javen Coleman** Josh Pearson Josh Stevenson Samuel Dutton Grant Taylor Don't know if we keep everyone, process some, lose some to transfer, etc. but this is a very promising core that could all return and contribute significantly. **Javen Coleman injured his UCL in February. I have been unable to confirm when (or even if) he had Tommy John to repair it. IF he had the surgery, 12 month from surgery date is likely the absolute minimum amount of time he would miss before pitching again. So the "when" becomes a pretty big factor in his availability to contribute at least first half of next season. .....more in next post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutriaitch Posted June 8, 2022 Author Share Posted June 8, 2022 and finally the question marks. the following is a list of guys that are all draft eligible. I'm not prepared to make many assumptions as to who goes/stays at this time. Brayden Jobert Collier Cranford Bryce Collins Eric Reyzelman Jacob Hasty Hayden Travinski Drew Bianco Giovanni DiGiacomo Paul Gervase Jack Merrifield Tyler McManus (grad student, but i believe has one more year available to him) Cade Beloso some big names in that list. most of their decisions will boil down to: Draft slot, NIL deals, projected spot on roster, etc. Jobert, Collins, Toe Tap, and Randy Johnson Jr. are the ones I'm most concerned about and have very little confidence we can retain. But NIL changes everything, so whop the hell know how this plays out with them. Cade Beloso not playing all year has me leaning toward him returning (he was slotted to be starter at DH this year) I think Bianco and Gio have probably played their last games here.
