I hope everyone enjoyed Minor League Opening Day as much as I did. Let's tackle your prospect questions.
Who do you think will have the better career, Tork or Greene?
The Tigers have two of the game's best position prospects in corner infielder Spencer Torkelson, the first overall pick in 2020, and outfielder Riley Greene, the fifth choice a year earlier. Torkelson ranks No. 3 versus Greene at No. 17 on MLB Pipeline's Top 100 Prospects list, but the gap is closer than that might suggest.
I'd go with Torkelson, because I heard so many scouts last year discuss how he was one of the best all-around offensive players to come out of the Draft in the last two decades, a potential plus-plus hitter with plus-plus power and tremendous plate discipline. But Greene is a similar hitter with just a grade less pop and more defensive value. He has a chance to stick in center field with a fallback option of right field, while Torkelson likely will be a first baseman.
