Detroit Tigers Minor League Notes

Tigers prospect Jace Jung has played only second base and DH during his two pro seasons, but he?ll now be getting some looks as a third baseman in the Arizona Fall League, Lynn Henning of the Detroit News writes.

Both MLB Pipeline (67th) and Baseball America (98th) rank Jung among the top 100 prospects in baseball, though both outlets have concerns about his eventual defensive future, as second base was seen as a less-challenging spot for Jung than the hot corner.

However, an even more highly-touted Detroit prospect faces similar defensive questions, as Colt Keith (18th BA, 25th Pipeline) looks ticketed for second base duty. Keith gets the priority because he has posted big numbers at Triple-A this second and could factor into Detroit?s lineup as early as Opening Day 2024, while Jung might need more time to get acclimated at his new position and has yet to reach Triple-A.

Keith and Jung are two of several intriguing position-player prospects coming up the ranks in the Tigers? farm system, to the point that Henning feels a possible logjam for future playing time gives the Tigers a good problem to have in figuring out who plays where, and ultimately might players might be kept or used as trade chips.

LET THE RIVER RUN.
Totally Tigers

On Tuesday, I blogged about the best investment the Tigers have ever made. Hiring top end talent to run every aspect of the organization. Talent that is already shown to have paid off in the scouting, development and promotion of players.

A number of Tigers have given testimonials now about how they have been helped perform better.
And now, we?re hearing from the minor leaguers, too.
