Detroit Tigers Top 25 Prospects: #16 Adam Ravenelle

Detroit Tigers fans haven’t seen the best bullpens in years past.

Up until last season, the organization had trouble finding the right mix of relief pitchers. The likes of Joe Nathan, Joba Chamberlain, Tom Gorzelanny, Jim Johnson and Ian Krol all struggled at times during their respective tenures in Detroit.

Fortunately, the team seems to be heading in the right direction.

Closer Francisco Rodriguez proved to be a steadying presence at the end of games, while the likes Bruce Rondon, Justin Wilson and Shane Greene settling into setup roles.
