"We are still very high on Matt Manning, and can easily see a future where he becomes the true ace of the Tigers staff. He has the size and stuff to be a innings-eating workhorse, while his athleticism and impressive development so far give him a good chance to continue improving into his late-20s. Even if he doesn’t develop any further, Manning could likely carve out a role as a solid late-inning reliever."
