Summary
What if the Detroit Tigers had drafted Garrett Crochet instead of Spencer Torkelson? The 2020 MLB Draft’s top pick turned into a quiet underachiever, while Crochet—taken 11th—became a White Sox ace. Picture Crochet and Tarik Skubal as a fearsome 1-2 pitching punch: a fantasy that haunts Tigers fans. The White Sox rushed Crochet into the bullpen for a playoff run; maybe Detroit would’ve let him develop slower as a starter. It’s a classic “what if” that still stings—and baseball fans can’t get enough of debating it. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
