HPD Arrests Murder Suspect in Puna

Hawai´i County police have arrested a suspect in a shooting that occurred on Monday, April 26 on the Big Island.

A 32-year-old Puna man was taken into custody without incident following a shooting that left a 59-year-old Volcano man dead, according to a Hawai´i Police Department report.

On Monday, at about 12:37 p.m., police responded to a residence on Nau Nani Road in Volcano after receiving a report of a shooting victim. It was also reported that the suspect was seen walking from the scene toward a nearby residence.

The department’s Special Response Team tactical unit responded and, using the armored vehicle, confirmed the suspect’s presence within the residence. Negotiators initiated contact with the suspect, who initially refused to exit the residence. At 3:15 p.m., the suspect exited the residence and was taken into custody.

Daris Paul Pacheco of Volcano is being held in the Hilo police cellblock for suspicion of second-degree murder while detectives from the Area I Criminal Investigation Section continue the investigation.

Detectives are withholding the identity of the victim pending confirmation of his identification and notification of the next of kin.

The nearby residents were evacuated for safety concerns. However, the evacuation was lifted after the suspect was arrested and the scene was rendered safe. There were no other injuries reported during the shooting incident.

Detectives ask that anyone with information regarding this incident call Detective Casey Cabral of the Area I Criminal Investigation Section at (808) 961-2384 or send an email to [email protected].

Tipsters who prefer to remain anonymous are asked to call Crime Stoppers at 808-961-8300. Callers may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.

Detroit Tigers Top 50 Prospects (2022)

“We’re on the upswing. We’re not rebuilding anymore. We’re building.”

Detroit Tigers fans hesitantly praised general manager Al Avila for his statement above in July 2021. After years of mismanagement, it seems the brain-trust on Woodward Avenue has recently made solid, positive personnel moves. Add those decisions to an above-average 2021 MLB Draft and increased player development under both AJ Hinch’s managing and Chris Fetter’s coaching, and one can conclude 2022 will become the final transitional year out of AL Central mediocrity.

Many 2021 Top 50 prospects graduated from the prospect pool (Casey Mize, Akil Baddoo, Tarik Skubal, Matt Manning, Daz Cameron, Derek Hill, etc.), causing the 2022 class to not be as deep as previous years. Even so, the 2022 Detroit Tigers farm system is still one of the best in all Major League Baseball.

The organization is led by arguably the best 1-2 combination of prospects in all baseball: Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson. Also helping the Tigers maintain their prospect talent pool was the backfill from the 2021 MLB Draft. Headlined by #3 pick Jackson Jobe, the Tigers had what many experts consider to be a fantastic draft. They added proven college arms and high-ceiling youth talent.

Here is the Prospects1500 tier system explained.

Prospects1500 Tiers:
Tier 1: Players with high expectations of both making the majors and playing at an All-Star level for a number of years
Tier 2: Players with an above-average expectation of making the majors and being a solid contributor
Tier 3: Players with an average expectation of making the majors and being a solid contributor
Tier 4: Players who have the potential of making the majors, or have a high likelihood of making the majors but providing minimal impact (e.g. middle reliever, low-ceiling UT guys)
Tier 5: Players of interest, worth keeping an eye on, who have an outside chance of making their team’s 40-man roster

Levels listed for each player are the highest levels player reached in 2021.

Tier 1

1. Riley Greene, OF, 21, AAA

Greene has a smooth swing that features effortless power to all fields. Add in the speed and intelligence to cover the outfield quickly and efficiently, and Greene is MLB-ready immediately. One area to watch for in Spring Training is his strikeout rate (27.4%). It is too high for comfort. I expect Riley to begin the 2022 season in Toledo, then have a mid-year callup to Detroit; similar to how Wander Franco was promoted in 2021 for Tampa Bay.

Riley Greene puts us on top with a LONG blast to right-center. 💣#LetsGoHens | #DetroitRoots pic.twitter.com/SpbA7Z7Yps

2. Spencer Torkelson, 1B/3B, 22, AAA

Torkelson is the top prospect in many publications, and for good reason. Torkelson has incredible power, while also hitting for average. He improved power numbers to the opposite field in 2021 and identified pitches after his promotion to AAA well. So why have Torkelson behind Greene? Torkelson shifted from third base to first base in 2021, with AJ Hinch stating that Spencer is their future at first. This shift from the “hot corner” to the “power corner” adds some unknown to Torkelson’s potential dominance. It’s usually a crowded and popular MVP and All-Star ballot at first base. Unlike Greene, Torkelson has a solid chance to be on the Opening Day roster at first base.

— Detroit Tigers Player Development (@RoadtoDetroit) September 2, 2021

Tier 2

3. Dillon Dingler, C, 23, AA

The 38th overall pick in 2020 (from some school south of Michigan), Dingler had an encouraging 2021. Dingler saw games at three different levels, being promoted for stellar defense and offense each time. The team signing Tucker Barnhart to be the everyday catcher in Detroit should not impact Dingler’s continued climb through the organization.

4. Jackson Jobe, RHP, 19, High School

The #3 pick in the 2021 MLB Draft, Jobe has a fastball and slider that keeps hitters off-balance. Jobe was the highest high school player selected, ahead of big names prospects Mayer and Lawler. The arm slot and spin rate of Jobe’s four pitches is incredible. That potential that has pitching coach Chris Fetter excited for Spring Training.

Jackson Jobe: The “Spin Monster.” pic.twitter.com/iwjlxDedu9

— Detroit Tigers (@tigers) July 12, 2021

5. Roberto Campos, OF, 18, Rookie (Florida Complex League)

It only takes a first glance to see why the Tigers brass is so high on Campos. At only 18 years, his powerful frame is 6’3”/200 but with speed, quickness, and range. Detroit doesn’t have a good history of high-risk international signings, but Campos promises to change that. In Campos’s first season of professional baseball, he showed above-average power. Campos projects to be breaking into the MLB roster just as Greene and Torkelson hit their prime.

Tier 3

6. Ty Madden, RHP, 21, College

After being selected out of high school in the 34th round of the 2018 MLB Draft, Madden pitched his way to being the 32nd pick in the 2021 MLB Draft. Madden has three above-average pitches (fastball, slider, changeup) and loves to attack hitters with consistent zone pounding. Expect quick promotions through MiLB in 2022.

another sensational outing for @TexasBaseball RHP Ty Madden, one of the top pitchers in the 2021 Draft

last week vs. BYU: 7 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 11 K

tonight vs. Houston: 9 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 14 K

all 14 strikeouts, for your viewing pleasure: pic.twitter.com/I2CkVbDq3X

— Céspedes Family BBQ (@CespedesBBQ) March 6, 2021

7. Cristian Santana, SS, 18, Rookie (DSL)

Santana got a $2.95M signing bonus from Detroit, leading to high expectations for the teenager with an impressive approach and raw talent. Santana had an impressive .940 OPS in the 54 games played in the DSL in 2021.

8. Izaac Pacheco, SS/3B, 19, Rookie (FCL)

The #39 overall pick in the second round of the 2021 MLB Draft, Pacheco has incredible athleticism and raw power from the left side. Although he had 43 strikeouts in 30 games in the FCL in 2021, Pacheco was also on base 42 times via hit or walk.

Izaac Pacheco is gonna be fun to watch.@izaacpacheco1 | @PlanetFitness pic.twitter.com/lmWygqK1Du

— Detroit Tigers (@tigers) September 20, 2021

9. Reese Olson, RHP, 22, AA

Olson has an above-average slider and change-up combo. In 2021, Olson had 114 strikeouts in 104.2 innings pitched. He avoids the big innings, only allowing six home runs in those same 104+ innings of work.

10. Ryan Kreidler, SS, 24, AAA

Kreidler is the biggest mover from the 2021 rankings. He has shown incredible development since Detroit drafted him in the 4th round of 2019. Kreidler improved his power and patience at the plate in 2021, taking advantage of a lineup featuring Torkelson and Greene’s on-base ability.

11. Dylan Smith, RHP, 21, College

One of the “under-the-radar” selections in the 2021 MLB Draft, Smith’s athletic 6’2” frame allow him to produce above-average pitches from minimal body movement. Finding repetition in his mechanics and arm slot will help confuse opposing hitters with downward and outward tails on his fastball and slider.

12. Joey Wentz, LHP, 24, AA

Wentz is still not at 100% after Tommy John Surgery in 2020, pitching only 73.0 innings in 2021 compared to 128.2 in pre-injury 2019. Wentz’s mid-3 ERA in AA Erie is promising, but the WHIP of 1.46 is too high.

13. Gage Workman, SS/3B, 22, High-A

Workman has good power for a switch-hitting infielder. Consistent average and fewer strikeouts need to be the focus of the 2022 season. Workman hit only .246 in 2021, while striking out 157 times in 118 games.

Put it on the board!#Tigers No. 11 prospect Gage Workman notches his first High-A dinger with @wmwhitecaps. pic.twitter.com/AO8rf07PpG

— MLB Pipeline (@MLBPipeline) July 9, 2021

14. Colt Keith, 3B, 20, High-A

Keith had a great start to 2021 in Lakeland, hitting .320 with 30 walks in 44 games. Those results earned him a promotion to West Michigan where he struggled to hit .162 with only 8 walks and 27 strikeouts. Colt continues to develop into his 6’3”/210 frame which will add more power.

15. Daniel Cabrera, OF, 23, High-A

Detroit hurt themselves by leaving Cabrera off the Summer Camp in 2020 and Spring Training in 2021. Cabrera took those decisions and turned it into an impressive start to the 2021 MiLB season. Although his average was lower in the second half of the year, 38% of his hits were extra base hits.

16. Kody Clemens, 2B, 25, AAA

The oldest Tiger in the top tiers of the organization, Clemens continues to show improvement each year since being drafted in 2018. Compared to the last full MiLB season in 2019, Clemens increased his home runs, average, and OPS in 2021. At the same time, Kody decreased his strikeout rate.

17. Parker Meadows, OF, 22, High-A

Meadows, like Keith, struggled after being promoted to High-A West Michigan. He has the natural talent to project into a solid overall player but needs to develop into a more consistent hitter. Finding gap power and increasing his walk rate will put Meadows’ above-average speed into more impactful positions.

Tier 4

18. Beau Brieske, RHP, 23, AA
19. Trei Cruz, SS, 23, Low-A
20. Alex Faedo, RHP, 26, DNP
21. Andre Lipcius, 3B/2B, 23, AA
22. Jose De La Cruz, OF, 19, Low-A
23. Garrett Hill, RHP, 25, AA
24. Bryant Packard, OF, 24, High-A
25. Adinso Reyes, SS, 20, Rookie (FCL)
26. Abel Bastidas, SS, 18, Rookie (FCL)
27. Paul Richan, RHP, 24, AA
28. Jason Foley, RHP, 26, MLB
29. Alex Lange, RHP, 26, MLB
30. Keider Montero, RHP, 21, High-A
31. Tanner Kohlhepp, RHP, 22, College
32. Wenceel Perez, SS, 22, High-A
33. Zack Hess, RHP, 24, AA
34. Jacob Robson, OF, 27, MLB
35. Rony Garcia, RHP, 24, MLB
36. Cooper Johnson, C, 23, High-A
37. Nivaldo Rodriguez, RHP, 24, MLB (Houston Astros)
38. Miguel Del Pozo, LHP, 29, MLB

Brieske, the Detroit Tigers MiLB Pitcher of the Year in 2021, should continue to build confidence and pitch deception into 2022. It will be interesting to watch the development of three key international signings, De La Cruz, Reyes, and Bastidas, as they get their first full MiLB seasons in their career. There are a few MLB bullpen arms who will once again see time in Comerica Park. Out of the threesome of Foley, Lange, and Garcia, there will be one or possibly two that contribute pivotal holds and stranded runners for the big league club.

The wild cards within this tier are Alex Faedo and Trei Cruz. Can the 1st round pick of 2017 return to have any potential of the prospect Faedo was coming out of college? I am not ready to give up all hope but may be blinded by homer bias and the high-quality human Alex is off the mound. Cruz struggled through injuries and poor play in his first full MiLB season, hitting only .161 in 63 games. The 3rd round pick in 2020 has the talent and pedigree to be better. Look for Trei to improve greatly in 2022.

Tier 5

39. Elvin Rodriguez, RHP, 23, AAA
40. Eliezer Alfonzo, C, 22, High-A
41. Kingston Liniak, OF, 22, Low-A
42. Austin Murr, OF, 22, High-A
43. Ulrich Bojarski, OF, 23, AA
44. Wladimir Pinto, RHP, 23, AAA
45. Tyler Mattison, RHP, 21, College
46. Franklin Perez, RHP, 24, DNP
26, AAA
48. Max Green, LHP, 25, AA
49. Carlos Guzman, RHP, 23, Low-A
50. Brant Hurter, LHP, 23, College

Rodriguez was added to the MLB 40-man roster to avoid him becoming a free agent. Look for him to be given both starting and relief opportunities in Spring Training. Elvin was the centerpiece in the Justin Upton trade with the Angels way back in 2017. In this tier are four 2021 MLB Draft selections: Murr, Mattison, Hurter, and Schultz. Murr hit .344 and reached base 41 times in only 24 games at West Michigan.

Perez continues his freefall through the Tigers’ prospect rankings. Once the headline player coming to Detroit in the Justin Verlander trade, Franklin has struggled with injuries and went unclaimed off waivers in 2021. Unlike Faedo, I am not optimistic that Perez has much more time in the Detroit farm system.

Aligning with purely personal bias, Liniak continues to be a fan favorite in Lakeland. From his hustle on the field to his interaction with fans off the field, it is easy to look past the .193 average and 121 strikeouts.

Next Three In

51. Austin Schultz, OF, 21, High-A
52. Brady Policelli, C, 26, AAA
53. Josh Lester, 3B/1B, 27, AAA

Massachusetts doubles offshore wind in power pipeline

The amount of offshore wind power in the Massachusetts pipeline is poised to roughly double with the selection Friday of projects from both Vineyard Wind and Mayflower Wind to cumulatively generate 1,600 megawatts of cleaner power for the Bay State by the end of this decade.

A group of utility executives working with assistance from the Baker administration was seeking 1,600 MW more of offshore wind power but got just two bids that each maxed out at 1,200 MW and came only from the two developers already under contract to deliver offshore wind power to Massachusetts. So instead of picking just one 1,200 MW project, the group selected Vineyard Wind’s roughly 1,200 MW Commonwealth Wind proposal and supplemented it with a 400 MW project offered by Mayflower Wind.

Both developers are already working on roughly 800 MW projects for Massachusetts. Vineyard Wind I, the first utility-scale offshore wind farm in the nation, is in the very early stages of construction and is due to come online by the end of 2023. Mayflower Wind’s initial 804 MW project just began its federal review process and is expected to be up and running in 2025.

“These projects will double the size of our current offshore wind procurements, they will deliver significant economic benefits to a number of coastal communities across the commonwealth, they include important provisions for diversity, equity and inclusion as well as benefits to environmental justice communities, and they invest significantly in the state while balancing protections with environmental resources including fisheries,” Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Kathleen Theoharides told the News Service on Friday.

Once the two projects already under development and the two selected Friday are operational, offshore wind will generate roughly 25 percent of Massachusetts’ annual electricity demand, enough to power about 1.6 million homes, the administration said.

Contracts with Vineyard Wind and Mayflower Wind are expected to be negotiated by March 28, 2022, and final contracts are supposed to be submitted for Department of Public Utilities approval by April 27, 2022. Theoharides said she was not at liberty to disclose pricing information while the contracts are under negotiation but said both projects came in cheaper than the last Mayflower Wind project did, in accordance with the state’s offshore wind price cap.

The contracting process might be “a bit more complicated than in the past” because projects from two developers were chosen to go into negotiations at the same time, but otherwise the selection of two projects does not create any significant differences from previous procurements, the secretary said.

To meet its midcentury climate goals, Massachusetts will have to get on pace of bringing about 1 gigawatt (or 1,000 MW) of offshore wind power online each year in the 2030s, the Baker administration has said. The four projects either selected or under contract total about 3,200 MW and the state can procure another 2,400 MW before the Legislature must authorize more.

Mayflower Wind said its 400 MW proposal is accompanied by an economic development package that includes “commitments to spend up to $42.3 million, including $27 million over 10 years to the SouthCoast Community Foundation.”

“Mayflower Wind is looking forward to delivering low-cost renewable energy to residents and businesses throughout Massachusetts,” CEO Michael Brown said. “And we are committed to investing in our local communities and being an engine for economic and workforce development.”

Vineyard Wind’s 1,200 MW Commonwealth Wind project “will create 11,000 full time equivalent jobs over the project’s lifetime and generate enough energy to power 750,000 homes annually,” officials with parent company Avangrid said. The Commonwealth Wind bid also includes an initiative to launch the state’s first offshore wind manufacturing facility for subsea transmission cables at Brayton Point in Somerset.

“This is more than just one project, it is part of an effort to build a clean energy infrastructure including the transformation of ports around our state as well as jobs and training that will support this clean energy industry for decades to come,” President and CEO of Avangrid Renewables Offshore Bill White said. “We are proud that Commonwealth Wind will help realize the vision of Governor Baker and the leaders of the Massachusetts Legislature in pioneering this new American industry.”

A slew of lawmakers were quoted in a Friday press release from Mayflower Wind, including Senate Ways and Means Chairman Michael Rodrigues of Westport, Rep. Patricia Haddad of Somerset, Rep. Antonio Cabral of New Bedford and Rep. Carole Fiola of Fall River. Since including the first procurement as part of a 2016 clean energy law, the Legislature has increased the amount of offshore wind power the state is authorized to seek and more recently has turned its attention to proposed reforms to the procurement process.

Among those proposed reforms is the idea of scrapping the state’s offshore wind price cap, which requires the power from each new project to be cheaper than the project before it. Gov. Charlie Baker and House Speaker Ron Mariano have both supported the idea but Sen. Michael Barrett worried that eliminating the cap would mean even higher electricity prices for Massachusetts ratepayers in exchange for economic development projects.

In a press release from the administration, Barrett said Friday’s announcement shows that economic development and affordability are not mutually exclusive.

“This round sees a wise balance struck between economic development, on the one hand, and protection against excessively high monthly electric bills for families, on the other,” the Senate chairman of the Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy said. “Going forward, this can serve as a model for us.”

Supporters of scrapping the price cap say it could encourage more competition for contracts and also enable bidders to weave other innovative and valuable proposals into their wind energy procurements.

“The 1600 MW offshore wind procurement announced today is further confirmation our efforts in the legislature to drive the transition to clean and renewable energy continue to bring critical climate progress and substantial improvements for Massachusetts ratepayers, businesses, workers, and communities,” Sen. Marc Pacheco of Taunton, a longtime advocate for the expansion of offshore wind, said Friday. “Offshore wind has helped us unlock tremendous benefits that will save homeowners and businesses billions in energy costs, expand our local workforce with new clean energy jobs, and eliminate millions of metric tons of carbon emissions.”

The selection of Vineyard Wind’s 1,200 MW proposal positions Salem to become a significant port in the offshore wind industry. Vineyard Wind announced in September that it had entered into an agreement with the city of Salem and Crowley Maritime Corporation to create a public-private partnership “aimed at establishing Salem Harbor as the state’s second major offshore wind port” and creating hundreds of jobs if its Commonwealth Wind proposal was selected by Massachusetts utilities.

Under the agreement, Crowley Maritime will buy land surrounding Salem Harbor Station and then serve as the long-term offshore wind port operator for the site. Avangrid Renewables and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, the groups behind the Vineyard Wind I joint venture, will serve as the port’s anchor tenants and will use “the property for the Commonwealth Wind project as well as other projects in the company’s portfolio.”

Salem Mayor Kim Driscoll said Friday that the selection of the Commonwealth Wind proposal “marks a transformative moment for Salem, our Commonwealth, and our planet.”

“As the planned marshalling and construction staging site for this next generation of major offshore wind power, Salem now has a brighter future,” she said. “It’s a future with hundreds of green jobs, a substantial expansion of our tax base, major private investments in improving our historic port, unique opportunities for new science, education, and workforce development initiatives, and, most importantly, the ability to take a significant, positive step forward in fighting the climate crisis.”

A port that can accommodate wind development needs in Salem could be key to eventual offshore wind projects in the Gulf of Maine, an area that many advocates think could be primed to host some of the dozens of wind farms that will be needed to meet various state and federal procurement goals.

The federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management in late 2019 formed the Gulf of Maine Intergovernmental Renewable Energy Task Force, a group that brings together energy and environmental officials from Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts to start thinking about how, where and whether the federal government should open up parts of the Gulf of Maine to offshore wind development.

New Bedford Mayor Jon Mitchell said Friday’s news “will help solidify New Bedford’s status as the center of an offshore wind industry cluster” and said it was important for the state “to build with all deliberate speed the port infrastructure necessary for wind developers to fulfill the terms of their awards.”

“Today is also an occasion to assess the broader offshore wind landscape, and in particular, to acknowledge what has become a fierce competition among Massachusetts and nearby states,” Mitchell said in a statement. “Each state is racing to establish itself as a leader in the wind industry. In this competition, New Bedford offers a critical edge for Massachusetts, as the closest industrial port to the wind project sites, and the home of one of America’s largest maritime workforces.”

Detroit Tigers Top 10 Prospects for 2022 Fantasy Baseball

I think public perception sees this system as strong–a club on the rise–and it is, especially at the top, but if you squint at this snapshot, gaze into its depths like a magic-eye poster, it morphs into a donut. It’s tasty, so you don’t think much about the big hole in the middle. By which I mean there appears to be a half-decade gap between it’s top group and the next little wave of potential impact. No need to linger on that today though. This team has the best one-two punch of top prospects in baseball, so it’s all rainbows, Rileys, and Tork-talk in Tiger-land, and it should be. We’re a bit starved for positrons on the planet today, and there’s plenty of talent here to discuss, so let’s get started.

Format: Position Player | Age on 4/1/2022 | Highest level played | ETA

1. OF Riley Greene | 21 | AAA | 2023

I don’t really care about the sequencing of these top two. If you prefer a well-rounded type with defensive upside who looks relatively shift-proof, you’ll probably want Greene over Torkelson, who remains the preferred option if your primary motivator is power. Because I play the way I do and tend to accrue balanced assets with speed, Tork would probably be the better fit on all my teams. Anywho, Greene is a smooth 6’3” 200 lb left handed hitter who looks like he was born to play baseball, something made ever more apparent as he climbs the ladder. As a 20-year-old in AAA, Greene slashed .308/.400/.553 with 8 HR and 4 SB in 40 games. That’s superstar stuff if mapping futures by age-to-level math. Here’s a link to Grey’s thoughts in Riley Greene, 2022 Fantasy Outlook.

2. 3B Spencer Torkelson | 22 | AAA | 2022

Tork is a demolitions expert at 6’1” 220 lbs with explosive rotation through the zone that costs him little if any barrel control because he’s so strong through his core. He’s especially adept at letting the ball travel and tracking it deep into the zone then dropping the hammer on pitches he can drive to the right side. He’s so good at lifting the ball that his grounders tend to be miss-hits that make for some easy (shift-able) outs, but that’s the only issue so far, and it’s a non-issue in real time. Chances are he’ll hit for power early and add average and OBP throughout his first few seasons. Click here to see Grey glimpsing the future in Spencer Torkelson, 2022 Fantasy Outlook.

3. SS Ryan Kreidler | 24 | AAA | 2022

The thing about Kreidler, aside from the swing change discussed here with David Laurila of Fangraphsis that he’s the last train to Clarkeville for a long time in Detroit. Sure, he might be blocked at the spots that seem to fit him best (short and third), but the next potential everyday player on the list is a teenager in the DSL. Even if he struggles, the Tigers will find opportunities for the 6’4” 208 lb right handed hitter with blossoming pop. In 129 games across two levels last year, Kreidler slashed .270/.349/.454 with 22 HR and 15 SB, but he got better throughout the year, slashing .304/.407/.519 with 7 HR and 5 SB in 41 games at AAA, where his 14.8%/24.1% BB/K rate hints as plate skills that should help him adjust at the big league level. 

4. RHP Jackson Jobe | 19 | NA | 2025

A 6’2” 190 lb prep powerhouse (9-0 with a 0.13 ERA and 122/5 K/BB rate in 51.2 innings as a senior), Jobe was considered by many to be the best high school pitcher in a long time. His slider is already a double-plus pitch, featuring spin rates in the rarified 3,000 RPM range. He’s a great athlete with plus balance on the mound who repeats his delivery well–a foundation built from the ground up that helps his pitches tunnel: a mid-90’s heater with ride, a high-70’s curveball that looks average already, and a changeup that he hasn’t had to use much but gets generous grades from scouts who’ve seen it. The Tigers shook up the draft a bit by passing on Marcelo Mayer, Jordan Lawler and Khalil Watson, among others, but their scouting and development team reportedly fell in love with Jobe and trusted their process,which helped net them a falling first-round-talent in Ty Madden at 32nd overall.

5. SS Cristian Santana | 18 | DSL | 2025

Signed for a club-record $2.95 million bonus in January this year, Santana spent his season in the Dominican Summer League and looked ready for the next challenge, slashing .269/.421/.520 with 9 HR and 12 SB in 54 games. He’s listed at 6’0” 165 lbs and should play shortstop the whole way up the chain with a solid chance to stick there as a big leaguer. As I’ve said in some other rundowns, this international class–and the one before it–feel like fertile ground for dynasty investments. Every one of them could ride an early season hot streak up the May escalator.

6. RHP Ty Madden | 22 | NCAA | 2024

Will be interesting to see what Detroit does with Madden, who added muscle, found new velocity and refined his approach throughout his college career, particularly during his final season with Texas that saw him throw 113.2 innings with 137 strikeouts and a 2.45 ERA. Here’s a link to prospect Hobbs giving us the goods (and video links) on Madden way back in March, when he was harnessing the added muscle and throwing 97 and hunting strikeouts atop the zone, something he’d previously left mostly to his off-speed spinning down or off the plate. If this in-season development holds, Madden has a case for the third spot on this list.

7. C Dillon Dingler | 23 | AA | 2023

Had some fun Chris Farley thoughts while writing this blurb. “Quit playin with your Dingey!” Good times. Man, do we lose some talented humans young. Anywho, this talented young human stands (squats, mostly) 6’3”, weighs 210 pounds, and plays baseball right handed.

The grind of this 30-team quest is getting to me, dear readers. 227 player profiles once I’m done with Dillon’s. I’m sorry this is happening in your boy’s paragraph, family Dingler. 

Existential check-in acknowledged and temporarily behind, we press on. Dingler ripped 12 dongs in 85 games across three levels in 2021 but struggled in AA, slashing .202/.264/.314 in 50 games. He played well enough in High-A to warrant continued optimism, but he could be on a long, slow road to fringe fantasy relevance. 

8. 3B Colt Keith | 20 | A+ | 2024

A two-way high school player with a shot to go either direction as a pro, Keith is a strong left-side defender who’s arm will play in an outfield corner and give him some options on his climb. The 2020 5th round pick was stunningly effective in A ball, posting a .436 OBP and .320 batting average. He hit just one home run in 44 games, which speaks to his smooth line-drive swing from the left side, where he can let the ball travel and slash it to the opposite field with ease. At 6’3” 211 lbs, Keith will likely add power simply from learning the nuances of leverage and taking a few more risks in firing his base early and trusting his hands to adjust late. I wouldn’t want to mess with him though. As long as he’s getting on base almost half the time, whatever he’s doing is fine for now.

9. OF Roberto Campos | 18 | CPX | 2025

Campos signed for $2.85 million in July 2019, the biggest bones Detroit had given an international amateur at the time. Listed at 6’3” 200 lbs, Campos generates plus power and good foot-speed and flexed both in the Florida Complex League, where he slashed .228/.316/.441 with 8 HR and 3 SB in 39 games. He’s a long way off with a little too much swing-and-miss in his game to get crazy excited just yet, but he’s an interesting guy to track and fits in the same bucket as Santana in that 2022 will be the first real chance he has to move the dynasty-stock needle.

10. 3B Izaac Pacheco | 19 | CPX | 2025

I’m going all upside with this last spot. Nobody else really demands the shine, so Pachedo’s plus power from the left side and big signing bonus ($2.75 million) take it down. He and Madden represent the draft-budget windfall generated from the club sticking with Jobe at No. 3 overall in the 2021 draft. It’s a fun game to play, I guess, passing on better talents early to draft better talents late, but it’s another window into what’s not ideal about baseball, so let’s move right on past that for now. Only good news today, and the good news is Pacheco has a lot more power than he showed in 30 games in the Florida Complex League, where he hit just one home run and slugged .330, which might be enough to discourage the club from sending him to Low-A to begin the 2022 season, though I doubt that. The current regime in Detroit tends to push early and often. As soon as a guy shows he’s up to the task, or about 20 percent better than league average for a month or so, he tends to move up, which means the stats throughout this system are generally not great, but the team has its vision and sticks to it, and the sink-or-swim method has certainly helped Riley Greene, who might’ve spent 2021 in High-A in some systems.

Thanks for reading!
