Many pundits (obviously not the ones at this site) will tell you that the Detroit Tigers farm system is horrid and, as a result, won’t produce much talent.
The poor opinions of the Tigers system haven’t stopped Detroit from developing players. The team has produced the likes of Drew Smyly, James McCann and Avisail Garcia in recent years, and used young players to trade for David Price, Anibal Sanchez and Francisco Rodriguez.
The one area where Detroit’s farm system excels is producing middle infield talent.
