Tigers prospects Clemens, Deatherage a potentially potent package deal

Sarasota, Fla. – Not surprisingly, Tigers prospects Kody Clemens and Brock Deatherage were both called over from minor-league camp and had lockers next to each other in the visiting dugout here at Ed Smith Stadium Sunday.

“Yeah, that’s kind of how it is,” Deatherage said. “Everywhere we go, we’re always together. Kind of a duo package there.”

They were extra players for this split-squad Grapefruit League game Sunday, but the Tigers envision this duo may one day hit at the top of their big-league batting order.
