Beyond two quite well received drafts for the Detroit Tigers under Scott Harris, the front office has also done an outstanding job juicing the farm system even further with trades. We’ve already covered fourth ranked Thayron Liranzo, eighth ranked Hao-Yu Lee, and 12th ranked Trey Sweeney. Now we come to the 20th ranked prospect in the system, right-handed starting pitcher Joseph Montalvo, who was acquired from the Texas Rangers last July along with reliever Chase Lee in a really nice trade of reliever Andrew Chafin.
The Rangers got two months of Chafin and didn’t make the postseason.
