Detroit Tigers Minor League Notes

Keith LAW: TIGERS DRAFT BREAKDOWN.
Ninth overall pick Matt Manning is a beast, a 6-foot-6 hoops star who has been up to 98 with a sharp spike curveball. The Tigers are betting on the right-hander's athleticism and off-speed development, Keith Law writes. Fourth-round RHP Kyle Funkhouser might have hidden value as a back-end starter or perhaps a power reliever. AL draft recap (Insider).
 
Joe Jimenez in Double-A so far: 7 appearances: 3-0 3 saves 0 R 13 K 1 BB.
WHIP of 0.616 and a K/9 of 15.5
 
The Tigers signed nine of their 2016 draft picks Thursday.
Seventh round pick Austin Sodders, left-handed pitcher from California-Riverside; 10th rounder Sam Machonis, outfielder from Florida Southern; 13th rounder Brady Pollicelli, catcher from Towson University; 16th rounder Will Savage, second baseman from Columbia.

Seventeenth round pick Brandyn Sittinger, right-handed pitcher from Ashland University; 22nd rounder Burris Warner, right-handed pitcher from Marshall; 24th rounder Evan Hill, left-handed pitcher from Michigan; 26th rounder Colyn O?Connell, right-handed pitcher from Florida Atlantic; and 27th rounder Chad Sedio, shortstop from Ohio.
