For the past couple years, I have supplemented our usual prospect rankings with a list of five “sleeper” prospects in the Detroit Tigers system. These lists have consisted of guys that aren’t quite on the prospect radar just yet, but are interesting in some form. Most of them are teenagers just entering pro ball, while others are primed for a breakout season. Last year, we discussed lefthander Gregory Soto before he went on to strike out everyone and their brother at the Single-A level. Righthander Artie Lewicki, who earned his major league call-up with a strong season in the minors, was also on the list.
