Pipeline Hitting Prospects of the week.

Honorable Mention;
Steven Moya, OF, Erie SeaWolves: (Tigers' No. 20 prospect) 7 G, 12-for-28 (.429/.429/.857), 1.286 OPS, 2 HR, 11 RBI, 1 SB, 6 R.


Pipeline Pitching Prospect of the Week: Robbie Ray, Detroit Tigers (Tigers' No. 2 prospect) 1-0, 0.79 ERA, 2 GS, 11 1/3 IP, 9 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 7 K

Ray made his Major League debut last week, and he pitched like he belonged in his two starts. The left-hander beat the Astros on Tuesday in his first big league game and then, as an encore, shut out the Twins for six innings Sunday.
Ray, ranked No. 90 on MLB.com's Top 100 Prospects list, began the season at Triple-A Toledo. He posted a 1.53 ERA in 29 1/3 innings before getting promoted.
Ray got the call to Detroit because Anibal Sanchez is on the disabled list. But so far, Ray is making the case that he's ready for a full-time spot in the big league rotation.
