I do like the picks they have been making since Dombrowski took charge and there is a good crop of talent in the 2007 draft as well. I'd just feel more comfortable if there were more solid players already in erie or toledo. Yes, Sizemore and Larish are both players I’ll have my eye on next year.

I think the past two or three drafts improved and we're finding some nice potential in later rounds and the general level of the organization has improved. But it's still just potential, it's not bonafide star prospects like some other teams have (like the Dbacks and Angels last year, the Devil Rays now). Not even a lot of guys you peg as for-sure future Tigers. Sizemore still has me most intrigued/impressed of the position players. Larish may be closer to 2008 than 2009 is my guess, this season at Erie being key, as well as Shelton's ability to find his stroke.
