A month before they truck equipment and uniforms to Lakeland, Florida, for the start of a new baseball season, the Tigers on Monday announced a slew of additions and promotions within their scouting and analytics staffs.
They hired former Tigers shortstop Josh Wilson as a big-league scout, replacing Don Kelly, who departed the Tigers to become first-base coach with the Astros.

Wilson played in 21 games for the Tigers in 2015, which wrapped up an eight-year big-league career. He was drafted in 1999 by the Marlins, when current Tigers general manager Al Avila and assistant general manager David Chadd all worked in Miami.
