Baseball Prospectus released their top 10 Detroit Tigers prospects list for the 2019 season last week. As a contributor at that site, I had a unique perspective on how the list was assembled.
[Ed.: Jay’s name is on the byline at BP, so he has more than “perspective.” He helped make the dang list, so we asked him to break down how it came together.]
One big change reflected in the top 10 list list is that arms no longer have a monopoly on the top spots in Detroit’s farm. Isaac Paredes and Daz Cameron, ranked third and fourth, respectively, were able to break into the the top five group that was once held entirely by pitchers.
