The Detroit Tigers Organizational Depth Charts (All Affiliates) – Spring 2014 (Majors and Minors)

By Chuck Booth (Lead Baseball Analyst/Website Owner): & Jeff Kleiner (Org Depth Chart + Payroll Expert – find his website here)

Follow MLB Reports On Twitter

The Detroit Tigers will be relying on their Minor League System more in 2014 than in the previous few years.  Players have been traded or lost to Free Agency, carving a path and opportunity for some.

Nick Castellanos has the grandest shot at making some headway at the 3B position, and Jose Iglesias will see a full year at SS in Motown.

When you factor in Ian Kinsler at 2B – and Miguel Cabrera at 1B, then none of the 2014 opening days Infield positions will look the same.

Dave Dombrowski has done an exceptional job at replacing some of the Minor League levels.  This was a big reason why they traded Doug Fister. 

Robbie Ray is their best Starting Pitcher not to start the year in Detroit.  He may even get the call at some point this campaign.

If anything, the Tigers were able to become younger, quicker and cheaper, which could bode well for the future

Justin Verlander is one of about 10 True Pitching Aces in the game right now that are starters.  Verlander can throw 100 MPH at any time in the game, plus seems to ramp it up as the game progresses.  The 30 Year Old just signed a massive contract extension that runs through 2019.  His 7 YR Deal is worth $180 MIL, and there is a Vesting Option for 2020.  JV is having his toughest season a pro - with a 10 - 8 record - and a 3.99 ERA in 2013 so far.  He is still 134 - 73 (.647) for his career - with a 3.45 ERA.  He has a CY Young (2011), and 4 other top 7 CY Young Voting Finishes
