One prospect in the Tigers system who has been quite hot in Triple-A Toledo to start 2019 is INF Willi Castro. Castro has put up solid numbers with the Mud Hens this year, prompting the question: is he ready for his shot in the Detroit Tigers big league lineup?
Castro came into the Detroit Tigers system at last year’s trade deadline as part of a trade with the Cleveland Indians. The Tigers received the prospect from Cleveland in exchange for outfielder Leonys Martín, and Castro impressed the organization enough with his performances late last season in both Double-A Erie and Triple-A Toledo to earn the right to start 2019 in Triple-A.
