Okay, anyway, the Tigers.

Now, I'm actually really fortunate that it waits so long to do this podcast because so many

things have changed in the past week for this team.

But at the very least, we have Terrick Scoobble at the top.

He obviously had an amazing season, a 0.89

whip with that 2-21 ERA, 30% K rate, etc. And I feel like I should have him at SP number

2 as opposed to 3 with Skeens at 3. What I'm getting at though is that the regression is more

likely for Scoobel, I think, than Skeen, who I think is just an amazing command artist

and has so many pitches and everything.

Well, Scubel is an elite swatch, essentially, with an amazing change-up and a four-seamer

and sinker that relies so much on velocity that probably will come down a little bit.

But anyway, he's elite, and yeah, you should go in the first or second round.

Framber Valdez, going to the Tigers is fine.

It's not the greatest situation for him.

But Framber is someone who had a terrible first half of 2024

because his kerbal was just horrible.

Then he saved his season in this two-month stretch starting in August where his curble was just so good that he was unstoppable for two months. So then the question was last year, okay, is he going to have that curbel? And what do you know? He did for a while. And then in the last three months, he was terrible and he lost it. he ruined that season right it was a three six six a array to one twenty four whip ultimately

even though it was like a two five ERA and a one one whip beforehand so what are we

gonna get from Franlva Valde's also of course the whole thing with him throwing at

his catcher and the mentality of it and is he going to be a good teammate, etc. But he's linked up with Justin Berlander again soon and we'll talk about that at a moment. And I feel like Framber also isn't the ace, like he isn't needed to be that guy at the moment. So I actually do think that Framber will settle in well here. His change up when it's working is amazing against right-handers. The sinker is this pitch that
