Ex-Tigers make a dent on Marlins top 20 prospect list

If you were curious as to where the prospects the Tigers gave up for D-Train and Miguel Cabrera would place within the Marlins organization, John Sickels released the Marlins top 20 prospect list.

John Sickels tackles the Tiger farm system

The tone of the article suggests that Crosby possibly […]

The Tigers announced yesterday that they will not be making any further roster moves in anticipation for the Rule 5 draft during the Winter Meetings.
