Lakeland, Fla. – The Tigers, like every organization in baseball at this time of year, are having constant internal debate over where their top prospects should start the season.
For players like Joe Jimenez, Michael Fulmer, JaCoby Jones, Wynton Bernard, Dominic Ficociello, Mike Gerber and others, the questions are the same: Are we rushing them? Are we pushing them through the system too fast? Would it be best to let them develop at a lower level a little longer?
Alan Trammell, as one of general manager Al Avila’s special assistants, is in on those debates. And he offers a very unique perspective.
