Keith Law talks McGonigle, Clark, all things prospects
Q: What else can you tell us about Bryce Rayner that maybe Tiger fans aren't aware of?
Rayner was a two-way player in high school with the potential to be an all-star shortstop, but fans may not be familiar with him due to the focus on other top prospects like McGonigle and Clark.
Keith Law talks McGonigle, Clark, all things prospects
Q: What do you see realistically as a pretty good goal or maybe an expectation that's realistic from Tiger fans regarding McGonigle?
The jump from the minors to the majors is very challenging, and while McGonigle is highly regarded, fans should temper their expectations regarding his immediate impact in the majors.
