Detroit Tigers Minor League Notes

LHP Zach Logue, RHP Angel De Jesus, C Mario Feliciano and INF Andy Iba?ez have cleared waivers and have been outrighted to Triple A Toledo.
 
The Tigers signed right-handed reliever Aneurys Zabala to a minor-league contract in late December. He pitched 2? scoreless innings for the Miami Marlins last season with one walk and two strikeouts.

His fastball averaged just over 99 mph last season against 11 batters faced, but he lacks command.
Before making his MLB debut, Zabala bounced around the minor leagues with the Seattle Mariners (2014-16), Los Angeles Dodgers (2017-18), Cincinnati Reds (2018-19), Philadelphia Phillies (2021) and Marlins (2022).
The 26-year-old has a 5.71 ERA with 192 walks and 294 strikeouts in 304 innings (191 games) across his eight-year career in the minors.

Tigers sign left-handed reliever Chasen Shreve to minor league deal.
Detroit adds the soft-tossing veteran to provide left-handed depth to a bullpen that needs plenty more help.

The Tigers signed 6-foot-7 right-handed reliever Trey Wingenter to a minor-league contract. He will be in MLB spring training as a non-roster invitee.
Wingenter, 28, had Tommy John surgery in July 2020. He pitched 70 innings (12.7 K/9) for the Padres from 2018-19.

Regarding BA top 100 list..and other lists like it..If Colt Keith isn't in your top 100..you haven't done enough scouting..Santana Pacheco and Campos all have great chances to be top 50 in 2023..Flores and JHEN are excellent prospects right now..thats 6 players.

Lastly ..assuming good health..Jobe will be a top 20 prospect on the verge of a call up by August..and to repeat my comment from the other day..I'm still mad we didn't draft Marcelo Mayer.

Once you get outside the top 50 it?s pretty much a fashion show for the next 100.. DET actually has better and more position player prospects than at anytime in the last 45 years.

DETROIT TIGERS 2023 TOP 30 PROSPECTS.
Prospects Live

ABOUT OUR TOP 30 LISTS:
The evaluation team has painstakingly worked every detail of the forthcoming list. We?ve incorporated our live looks, watched hours of film, consulted with industry folk, and combed through too many data sets to count. This process is much the same for each team we?ll be covering this offseason, and it?s led to what we consider to be our best work yet.

The list is organized by and utilizes the Overall Future Projection (OFP) scale. Although there is no empirical method for ranking or classifying prospects, this method is as close as possible. Prospects are scored on the traditional 20-80 scale, with a 20 representing a non-prospect and a 70 or 80 representing an elite, MVP-caliber player. These are the two extremes, with most prospects occupying something in between. A 50 OFP means we project that player to be a future average big leaguer, while a 55 or 60 OFP means they?re a future above-average or all-star player. Most prospects, however, tend to project in the 40 or 45 OFP range, which are below-average or specific role players, such as utility players or low-leverage relievers.

Sometimes these grades will be more aggressive, while others will be conservative. We?ve included a ?Risk? component to help differentiate between these situations. We?ve done our best to apply these grades and risk components relative to all prospects both within and outside of each organization. It?s also important to note that players grow or regress year-to-year, and we?ve also incorporated where these players were ranked on last year?s list.
