another Harris Knob job. Harris and co. have been drafting for 4 years. Of course all of the top "prospects" are going to be his...once a player is in the system for a few years and doesn't advance, scouts and those who rank them drop them down, as it is usually evident that they are not going to pan out.

Key factors determining the end of prospect status:
  • Rookie Eligibility: The official MLB definition of a prospect graduating to a major leaguer is exceeding 130 at-bats, 50 innings pitched, or 45 days on the active roster (excluding time in September).
  • Age: Most analysts and teams stop viewing players as top prospects around age 25 or 26, as they are often considered to have reached their peak development.
  • Performance/Career Length: Players who do not reach the majors within 4–5 years are often considered "career minor leaguers" rather than prospects.
  • Draft Position: High-round draft picks or large-bonus international signings are given a longer "leash" (more time) to develop compared to lower-round picks.

FIVE FOR FRIDAY.
Totally Tigers

Spring training is finishing up its 3rd week – app. halfway – and the Detroit Tigers have played 11 games so far.
It’s still very early but who has gotten out of the gate quickly? And who is still stuck?
Today, an initial analysis of who is performing well – and who isn’t. We know many of the names will change over the next 3+ weeks but it’s important for us to see in which direction players of interest are headed.
By doing today’s analysis, it will serve as an initial baseline when we return to judge the best and worst players from spring training.
It’s a small sampling so for hitters, I’ve used 10 at-bats as the baseline for analysis. I’ve also taken into account the entire slash line, not just BA.
For pitchers, ERA and WHIP, combined with the number of innings pitched serve as the guideline. In one case, a reliever who only threw 1 inning but got absolutely shelled is included.
And finally, I’ve primarily considered the familiar names – those who either saw time in Detroit last year or the names on everyone’s lips. There are a few cases of prospects who have played so well and stand out that they were included.
Also to kept in mind is the large number of players with ST invites and others who are there solely for evaluation or to get a taste of the bigs.
So here are the 5 best/worst hitters and the 5 best/worst pitchers so far in ST. All in alphabetical order.
 
LHP Jake Miller and LHP Drew Sommers have been optioned to Triple-A Toledo.
C Josue Briceño, OF Ben Malgeri and RHP Matt Seelinger have been assigned to minor league camp. Detroit’s major league camp roster now stands at 55 players.
