Spring training has begun. Pretty soon, baseball will once again grace our televisions. We can't wait for Detroit Tigers baseball. But for now, we have to figure out what this team will look like.
Yesterday we did our first Opening Day roster projection. Now, it's time to look at some prospects to watch during camp this year.
This list will contain prospects on the 40-man roster, as well as prospects invited as non-roster invitees. The Tigers invited many of their top prospects to camp this year, and it will be exciting to see if any of them have a monster spring.
So without further ado, here's five Tigers prospects to watch this spring.
Colt Keith
Obviously, all eyes will be on Keith this spring. He's basically already been penciled in as the Opening Day second baseman by many, but Scott Harris has said that he still have to earn his spot on the roster.
The only way Keith shouldn't make the team is if he gets hurt. He could have a disaster of a spring where he just looks lost at the plate, but that doesn't seem likely given how good he's looked and how much he prepares.
The biggest thing to watch with him will be his defense. How will look he look at second base? Will he get some time at third? He almost certainly will, but how much time will he get? These are all questions that will need to be answered.
This is Colt Keith's audition. Barring somethimg unforseen, he should ace it.
