[burlingtonbandit]

Great trade as hes a pretty good prospect and plays 2nd base.

So where does this leave the OF? Pillar-Pompey-Bautista is gross.

Love it! Big Travis fan. Luckily for us he's blocked by Kinsler.

Baseball America list

Here is the complete list of top Tigers prospects, according to Baseball America, along with a few details about each of them:

 

1. Devon Travis, 2B/OF: Travis was named the franchise's Minor League Player of the Year following the 2013 season. He hit .351 with 16 home runs, 76 RBIs, 22 steals and a .936 OPS in 2013 while splitting time between West Michigan and Lakeland. (More on Devon Travis.)

 

Apparently he had surgery in September:

http://www.freep.com/story/sports/mlb/tigers/2014/10/07/detroit-tigers-prospect-devon-travis/16893883/

 

had hoped to represent the Detroit Tigers in the Arizona Fall League, which began Monday. Instead, he was home in Florida recovering from core muscle surgery. It will be four weeks Thursday since the surgery.

 

Travis hit .298 in his first year at Double-A Erie. He had 20 doubles, 10 homers and 52 RBIs in 100 games.

 

Travis (5-feet-9, 195 pounds) would have gone to the Fall League if he hadn't suffered the injury.

 

"I was trying to beat out an infield single," he said. "I kind of stretched at the end instead of just running straight to the bag normal. I kind of did a lean at the end.

 

"I've been jogging for about a week and a half."

 

The Tigers asked Travis to switch from second base to centerfield late in the season. He played three games in the outfield before he was injured. He was all for the move considering the Tigers have Ian Kinsler at second.

Dang I might have drafted him if I knew he was gonna get traded to a team he had a spot on. Nice spittin.

[metafour]

BA just named him #1 prospect in Detroit's system.

It's f***ing great!!

 

Devon is the best Tigers prospect. Top-100 prospect B-American

[nonamejays]

Excellent.

[glory]

Alex 2010-11 is back.

 

Excellent trade, and I'm one of the few who actually thinks Gose can be a decent MLB player.

[TheHurl]

Kind of ironic considering how many wanted Gose to become Devon

[GD]

126 wRC+ in AA last year

 

.319 wOBA (102 wRC+) projection next year

 

something in that ball park would be so nice omg

[Inklink]

Apparently he can play outfield?

[GD]

Somebody update the Roy Halladay trade flow chart.

[BTS]

OK. Travis has a legit chance to be a league-average 2B immediately. Losing Gose is a hit though.

I strongly doubt a 2B could be added more efficiently than this. Pillar probably isn't the worst 4th OF in the world, nice projections + off the charts zGRIT.

[Stangstag]

Wow. Guess its finally time to change my avatar and sig

[xposbrad]

So you guys are saying AA did something good for once?

[BTS]

I'm not saying it's a bad move. I like Travis. Just pointing out that Gose isn't nothing. I liked that skill set.

He had a good skill set for a 4th OF but Devon Travis is a starter on this team so it makes a ton of sense.

[Angrioter]

2B Devon Travis - 500K

CF Dalton Pompey - 500K

LF Pillar/Dirks - 2.5M

 

 

great!!

Yeah, he was fun to watch. Pillar will be nice too though.

 

Happ for an OF now?
