One of the biggest things that has happened to the Detroit Tigers during this painfully slow offseason has been the thickening of the farm system, specifically the ranks of the position players within it. This process has involved, among other things, acquiring a dearth of outfielders with low-ceiling, high-floor skill sets. Among them is the diminutive Troy Montgomery, a 5'10" center fielder who played his college ball at Ohio State University.
The main draw of the the trade that sent Ian Kinsler off to Anaheim, Montgomery played across three levels of the minors and finished in Double-A.
