BYB 2021 Detroit Tigers prospects #21: Wenceel Perez has a shot to stick at shortstop

The Detroit Tigers farm system is vastly improved from the state it was in back in 2017 when the teardown started. However, at the premium positions they still have precious little to offer in terms of hopes for the future.

There really isn’t a player in the system who looks like a likely starting centerfielder, though Daz Cameron still has an outside shot. Meanwhile, most of the hopes for a full-time catcher lay with Dillon Dingler, the Tigers second round pick in 2020. The shortstop position may ultimately be handled by Willi Castro if he can moderate his throwing issues, but beyond him, there are no other options that look particularly viable.
