For the past few weeks we’ve been projecting the rosters for each of the Detroit Tigers’ four full-season minor-league affiliates. Rogelio has been handling the pitching, while I’ve been projecting the lineups. Today we turn our attention the West Michigan Whitecaps, Detroit’s High-A affiliate.

One of the great debates among the fanbase was whether the Detroit Tigers would opt to start their young position player prospects on the MLB roster or if the organization would continue to slow play their development by assigning them to Triple-A Toledo, a destination in which both already have experience.
Marathon negotiations on Monday gave Detroit Tigers fans some hope of a potential resolution, but reports of optimism turned out to be manufactured by the owners as a way to make players look bad when things inevitably went south on Tuesday.
The worst nightmare of all Detroit Tigers baseball fans and all fans alike has now become a reality, as it has been announced that Opening Day has been delayed until further notice due to the inability of the MLB and MLBPA to reach a deal on a new collective bargaining agreement.
The wait to see the Detroit Tigers continues on as MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred announced this afternoon that the first two series have been canceled. The press conference began at 5pm and right off the bat, the presser had a strange vibe to it.
Everybody thought the Detroit Tigers got their shortstop when they came to an eleventh-hour agreement with free-agent Javier Baez. Heck, the Detroit Tigers themselves likely thought the same thing. Recent reports indicate that the Detroit Tigers are still a suitor for perhaps the top player left on the market: Carlos Correa. Correa was the favorite…
For the first time since 2017, the Detroit Tigers are picking outside of the top ten in the MLB Draft. We first took a stab at projecting the top of this class way back in July, shortly after the 2021 draft concluded, and last week we checked in on how the college class was looking…

If you have not already checked out our Lakeland Flying Tigers opening day lineup or starting rotation, do so already as this will paint a complete picture on the Detroit Tigers Low-A squad. Last season, as I mentioned before, the Flying Tigers had somewhat of an older pitching staff in 2021 because of the lost…
MLB Trade Rumors recently posted an article about likely trade candidates that may move. One name I wrote about, Jake Odorizzi, I thought would be a good fit for the back end of the Detroit Tigers rotation. The other name that was mentioned is right-hander Sonny Gray of the Cincinnati Reds.
The Detroit Tigers were supposed to be playing the Washington Nationals on Saturday–instead, minicamp rolls on, and players on the 40-man roster are left on the outside looking in as the player’s association awaits a deal with ownership.
Recently, I wrote about a pair of lefties to help the Detroit Tigers bullpen in Andrew Chafin and Matt Strahm but the next pair of articles I am going to focus on are trading for pitching help. Jake Odorizzi may sound familiar to Tigers fans as he spent three seasons before signing with the Astros…
First and foremost, I want to thank Duane Pesice from our Chicago Cubs site, Cubbies Crib, for the headline idea. As the news broke that the owners and the MLBPA have made minimal progress in coming to an agreement, Detroit Tigers fans and front office staff watched the future Tigers down in Lakeland this past week.
Do you remember new wave music? There might be a few too young to remember this push of music that occurred between the late 70s to around the mid-80s, depending on who you asked. The Detroit Tigers are getting a “new wave” of prospects that are getting attention from national baseball analysis.
Last week Rogelio started trying to project the starting pitching rotations for each of the four full-season Detroit Tigers affiliates, and this week I’m taking at shot at predicting the lineups for each club.
The evolution of a pitcher never stops. For anyone who is aiming to play in the major leagues, you seize every opportunity. The work to improve never stops For the Detroit Tigers left-hander Gabe Sequeira, the change in his mechanics gave him an opportunity to stand out in Lakeland in 2021.
With little to no progress being made between the Major League Baseball Players Association and the owners, we unfortunately have another day of no Detroit Tigers Spring Training or MLB coverage for the Motor City faithful. At least we have Lou Whitaker’s number retirement ceremony to look forward to.
In the past, whenever the Detroit Tigers had their best prospects graduate from the farm system, the depth would plummet. Case in point, the 1984 Tigers squad was built with drafts from the mid-70s that kept the team competitive until the early 90s.
After stops in Lakeland, West Michigan, and Erie, we arrive at the final stop on the road to Detroit, the Detroit Tigers Triple-A team, the Toledo Mud Hens. Toledo is coming off a successful 2021 season in which they won the first ever Triple-A East Midwest Division crown. This was rather an impressive feat for…
Our list of the top 20 Detroit Tigers prospects concludes with a look at one of the best prospects in all of baseball, Riley Greene. For the past month we’ve been offering detailed looks at players in our top 20 prospects. We recently moved into the top five, with pieces on Ty Madden, Jackson Jobe,…
