If Detroit Tigers fans are watching the minor leagues more than usual this week, perhaps it’s because the alternative (the big-league Tigers) is too depressing.
While the start minor-league season is usually overshadowed by Major League Opening Day, the delayed start gave the kids on the farm a larger showcase.
And like the fans, Tigers manager A.J. Hinch has been watching.

Fifty-six prospects made Major League Opening Day rosters this season. Seventeen of those were Top 100 talents. And it hasn t stopped there either, as the D-backs proved by bringing up No. 78 overall prospect Gerardo Perdomo over the weekend.
The fun is going to continue all season long. Some will arrive in The Show early. Some will get called up later than expected. Some will jump in the line, while others will have to wait patiently (or impatiently as the case may be). You can t predict ball, as the saying goes, but let s try anyways.
The following is a month-by-month prediction of when more Top 100 prospects those who are not yet on Major League rosters will reach the bigs themselves in 2021. Within each month, players are listed by prospect rank, not expected time of promotion.
