Among the seven players they sent, Thayron Liranzo and Josue Briceno, areaccording to MLB Pipeline. Briceno is currently on fire in Scottsdale, giving even more reason for the Tigers to be excited about him.
After a nice regular season, he has continued to impress, even more so, in his short stint in the AFL so far. This league is not only meant to get players more innings at at-bats, but it's a collection of a lot of the best prospects in the game. At 6'4", Briceno is a lefty handed hitting catcher in first baseman. His standout tool is his power, whichon the 20-80 scale.
