2015 Detroit Tigers Top Preseason Prospects
The Tigers farm system isn’t full of top 50 prospects, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t well built. Detroit had some breakout players last season, with Steven Moya and Kevin Ziomek having breakout seasons. Moya hit 35 homers with 105 RBIs and hit .276 in Double-A ball. Ziomek went 10-6 with a 2.27 ERA in 123 innings in Single-A. Both prospects will have a shot to play in the majors this season, with Moya already getting some playing time in September.
