Detroit Tigers fans haven’t always seen the best minor league depth.
It can be incredibly useful over the course of a season, especially if the team’s prospects aren’t ready to contribute right away.

Alex Presley notched a 0.5 fWAR and a .354 on-base percentage in 264 plate appearances, while Jim Adduci collected 14 runs scored, 10 RBI and nine extra-base hits in just 93 plate appearances.
