Detroit Tigers Minor League Notes

Tigers Minor League Notes

2011 Texas Collegiate League Top 10 Prospects.
1. Tyler Collins, of, Coppell (SIGNED: Tigers)
Collins was the 2011 NJCAA Division I national player of the year after hitting .488/.561/.949 with 19 homers at Howard (Texas) JC. He played in 35 games this summer with Coppell, hitting .310/.357/.510 with two triples, four doubles and six steals. Collins stands just 5-foot-11 but has good strength in his 205-pound frame. He's a lefthanded hitter with plenty of bat speed, a knack for making solid contact and a good all-fields approach. He has a chance to hit for average as well as power. Collins has solid speed and good defensive instincts in left field, but his arm is fringy at best. He was the highest-drafted player in the TCL this year, as the Tigers signed him out of a commitment to Texas Christian with a $210,000 bonus. Collins hit .324/.369/.544 through 136 at-bats between the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League and the short-season New York-Penn League after signing.

2011 Arizona Fall League Roster Review: Salt River Rafters.
from milb.com

Casey Crosby, LHP, Tigers: 22-year-old lefty has plus power stuff but his career has been slowed by command problems and injuries. 4.10 ERA with 121/77 K/BB in 132 innings with 122 hits in Double-A. Sharper control could make him a dominator.
