2011 AMERICAN LEAGUE CENTRAL DRAFT SLEEPERS
DETROIT TIGERS: Tyler Collins, OF: Like Myles, Collins is a shorter player (5-11, 205), but is younger than Myles and hits left. He played well in the NY-P, hitting .313/.360/.534 with six steals and eight homers in 163 at-bats. A sixth-round pick from Howard Junior College, he draws praise for his power potential and makes contact, though he could use more patience. Like many JC talents, he hasn't gotten a lot of attention yet.

Tigers are said to be naming the new minor league staff in place of recently let go/fired coaches from the past month.
Names mentioned are Dave Owen as new Director of Player Development.
He was a roving field instructor in 2011 and a previous third base and bench coach with the royals.
Al Nipper is said to be the new minor league pitching coordinator.
Ex-pitcher for redsox as well as a pitching coach for them and royals, as well as a scout and special assignment instructor with rsox.
Should all be named by end of the week.
