Says he's 3rd round talent at best, good college hitter but no carrying tool. Werent there people on here saying recently he's a 1st rounder?

never saw him as a 1st or 2nd rounder

I'd guess 4th or 5th honestly

3rd round in the MLB draft is not bad at all. If he would have shown some power this year he could have been a first rounder. Fraley is who Fraley is at this point a line drive hitter that will occasionally hit a line drive homer. There is nothing wrong with that and he is a very good college player just never developed the power we thought he would. He could make it to the big leagues with his skill set eventually.

Most people here though he would have shown more of his power potential than he has. Still, a 3rd round draft grade is nothing to sneeze at.

At least 25 former Tiger outfielders in last 15/20 yrs. way better than Jake never sniffed the grass in a big league park. He will do the same. Just a good college player, glad he's on my team.

Not even a 3rd rounder right now IMO.

I saw somewhere that a couple experts said he could be a 2nd rounder. I don't remember who though. But even though Fraley is a nice players, there's no way he should be drafted that high. I would say more like rounds 4-6. He'll still be gone after this season anyway though.

Baseball America and MLB.com have him projected 1st or 2nd round. What do they know though

He's a 3 plus tool player with the possibility of developing a 4th. His arm strength isn't a plus, but it's above average.

That alone will get him drafted in the first 5 rounds.

I've said 1S or 2nd round (31-70's) ceiling since last year . I don't think anyone here has ever thought he was a 1st round lock other than a few mock drafts from ameatur sites.
