Their first round picks have been great, but they've done a much better job beyond the first round as well with picks like Dillion Dingler, Ty Madden, and Izaac Pacheco. They've found some international prospects early as well, like Roberto Campos and Cristian Santana.
If they can keep AJ Hinch in charge with Chris Fetter as the pitching coach, I think Detroit will be a very good team in the next year or two.

I feel like their development of players is what has been holding this organization back. It is the reason I feel like Avila needs to go. I have no criticism toward the drafts but they have been mostly no-brainer picks. Trying to be patient but this year was a clear setback.
