Bottom Line:

Evan Petzold’s projections provide some insight into who may be on the team come April, but only time will tell who will actually make the cut. As the Tigers aim to improve upon their abysmal 66-96 record from last season, it will be interesting to see how the roster takes shape and which players will be key contributors in the upcoming season.
