2009 Detroit Tigers Top Five Prospects List

1. Rick Porcello - RHP - A - ETA 2010 - Comp - Aaron Cook
2. Cale Iorg - SS - C- - ETA 2012 - Comp - Julio Lugo with less speed
3. Casey Crosby - LHP - C - ETA 2012
4. Scott Sizemore - 2B - C- ETA 2011

Detroit pillaged its own system last off season shipping out star prospects Andrew Miller, Cameron Maybin, and Gorkys Hernandez. Left on the cupboard is right handed future ace Rick Porcello. Porcello showed why Detroit signed him to a $7.29 million dollar contract going 8-6 with a 2.66 ERA. Cale Iorg struck out a ton but showed some flashes of becoming a potential player. Crosby and Sizemore look like part time players and Perry is a future middle reliever.
