If there was any question of how involved Christopher Ilitch is in the team’s rebuilding process, he provided these answers on Tuesday afternoon:

Daz Cameron. Matt Manning. Casey Mize. Beau Burrows.

Ilitch, the Detroit Tigers’ president and CEO, rattled off those top prospect names and even more while speaking with reporters after the team’s annual photo. The conversation served as a state of the organization of sorts, and Ilitch left no doubt how pleased he has been with the progress he’s seen.
