While we’re big fans of both Josue Briceño and Thayron Liranzo, the Tigers prospects’ hot start in Arizona Fall League play needed to be undersold in the early going. When last we updated their work on October 19, the Fall League was little more than a week old. Briceño already had five home runs in his first 31 plate appearances. In the three weeks and change since that point, the Tigers’ dynamic duo of power-hitting prospects haven’t missed a beat, rapidly becoming two of the hotter prospects in the game in the process.
Now, with three games left in the regular Fall League season, which concludes with a pair of play-in games on Friday that will advance the winners to the Fall League championship game on Saturday, it’s safe to say these weren’t flukes.
