Ancient Tiger Prospects Down on the Farm By Hunt Baker on May 15, 2021, 4:57pm EDT +
Riley Greene is at Erie. He is a 20 year old that is the hope of the franchise as an emerging star. How many other such players are there developing their chops to be one of his teammates?
Since AAA and AA are the top rungs of the minor leagues I expected to see a lot of 21, 22, 23, and 24 year olds, with perhaps one or two former major league players hoping for one more chance to re-emerge and reach the majors.

As there was no minor league season in 2020, there are some instances where no new information was gleaned about a player. Players whose write-ups have not been meaningfully altered begin by telling you so. Each blurb ends with an indication of where the player played in 2020, which in turn likely informed the changes to their report if there were any. As always, we’ve leaned more heavily on sources from outside of a given org than those within for reasons of objectivity. Because outside scouts were not allowed at the alternate sites, we’ve primarily focused on data from there, and the context of that data, in our opinion, reduces how meaningful it is. Lastly, in an effort to more clearly indicate relievers’ anticipated roles, you’ll see two reliever designations, both on t
