The approach of spring camp heralds another round of top 100 lists from prospect sites around the country. While we wait for MLB Pipeline and FanGraphs to re-evaluate the Detroit Tigers’ farm system, a few other notable sites weighed in on Wednesday, and it wasn’t pretty. In fact, the Tigers system was almost entirely panned by one outlet.
Baseball Prospectus’ new top 101 featured just one Tigers’ farmhand, starting pitcher Casey Mize, who checked in at number 36 in the country. Even looking to their next 10 who didn’t make the cut, there is no Matt Manning, no Isaac Paredes, and no Daz Cameron.
