The Detroit Tigers have finally announced their choices to lead the farm system, and it’s a list of familiar names. Even the lone newcomer has some experience in Detroit, as well as deep ties to Ron Gardenhire and the Minnesota Twins’ organization.
The most familiar name on the list is Lance Parrish, who, after spending the last four seasons as manager for Double-A Erie, is being moved to manage Class A West Michigan.
West Michigan’s current manager, Mike Rabelo, is heading to High-A Lakeland. Lakeland’s manager, Andrew Graham, is being promoted to Double-A Erie.
