DETROIT TIGERS
TOP 2018 ROOKIE: Joe Jimenez, RHP. The Tigers have to hope that his brutal first taste of the big leagues will help him be better in his return to Detroit.
BREAKOUT PROSPECT: Sam McMillan, C. He needs to get stronger, but his outstanding batting eye will help him stay ahead of pitchers.
SLEEPER: Jose Azocar, OF. He struggled in his first time at high Class A Lakeland. He has to put together better at-bats, but he’s as physically talented as almost anyone in the system.
