GCL Tigers PPD

Minors notes

The Tigers made some organizational moves bumping Zach Simons to Toledo and Jared Gayhart to Erie. Gayhart has moved all the way up from West Michigan this season. Simons is now just one rung away from the big leagues and is already on the 40 man roster meaning there’s a good chance he could see action out of the Tigers bullpen.

Also, in preparation for trade season Lee has put together a midseason prospect ranking which I pretty much agree with. There is always a lot of subjectivity in these things, but I think Lee’s list is a good one.
