These are the 5 Tigers sleeper prospects you should pay attention to in 2016

They're a long way from the majors, but these young talents will make their way onto the radar soon.

Projecting minor leaguers is a tough business. Even MLB teams, who have full access to just about every scouting report on the planet, fail at a very high rate when it comes to developing young players. Draft busts are a dime a dozen, even in the top rounds. Amateur free agents are signed as early as 16 years old, and those that pan out take nearly a decade before finally reaching the major leagues.

The Detroit Tigers have a few interesting young talents coming through their system, and some of them will be making their stateside debuts in 2016.
