Detroit Tigers: Young position players needed, regardless of buying or selling

Detroit Tigers fans are used to seeing veteran teams.

The Tigers have predominantly been a veteran bunch since Jim Leyland took the team to the World Series.

However, with the Tigers looking to cut down payroll over time, younger players are a must in terms of roster construction.

As of now, Detroit’s “younger players” mainly include 27-year-olds (Jose Iglesias, James McCann, John Hicks and Warwick Saupold) and 26-year-olds (Bruce Rondon, Matt Boyd and Buck Farmer).

Just a small handful of the team is 25 or younger.
