As the season winds to a close Detroit Tigers fans can breathe easy, knowing they survived the first year of the rebuild. While the product on the big league field was sometimes hard to watch, the product in the farm system was much more appealing. And while the Tigers still have a ways to go to be playoff relevant again, it was nice to see some outstanding performances from some of the young talent down on the farm.
Matt Manning, Beau Burrows, Casey Mize and Franklin Perez are all elite right-handed pitching prospects.
