Detroit Tigers Minor League Baseball Commentary and Analysis
[powered by WordPress.]
Hello, my name is Mike Cassidy and welcome to my blog that will cover all six of the Tigers minor league affiliates. I got to talking with Brian at Tigerblog after I read some Mud Hens news and he urged me to do this. I’m a Detroit transplant who now lives south of Cleveland, so I’m right in the middle of the Mud Hens and the SeaWolves. I’ll be keeping an eye on Tiger prospects during spring training, providing complete coverage of all six affiliates during the season and hopefully providing some helpful insight along the way. I’m also going to be indexing each of my game reports so you can easily look up your favorite Tiger prospects and see how he’s done and what I’ve written up about him.
With spring training starting up, I think the first think that would be worthwhile is to take a look at the top Tigers prospects in the system. There’s a ton of prospect lists out there but three of them are my favorites and there’s links to them in the sidebar. So what I’m going to do is something similar to what Tiger Tales has done for fielding and that’s to come up with a score using these three lists (Goldstein at BP, Baseball America and John Sickels). Similar to a roto league, if a prospect comes in first place on the list, they get ten points and then I’ll rank the top ten that come out of that system. Number ten should show up on Tuesday and I’ll work my way up to number one through February.
So I hope you make this site a regular stop during the season. I hope to have some fun with it.
