The Tigers on Saturday announced their list of 15 Minor League players to receive non-roster invites to Major League camp for Spring Training. First workout for pitchers and catchers is scheduled for Feb. 17, with the first full-squad workout slated for Feb. 22.
While the list of invites includes a fair number of top prospects, it’s not as deep of a list as in some years. One reason on the prospect side is the probable delayed start of the Class A and Double-A seasons. Prospects below the Triple-A level who receive big league invites could well go through two Spring Trainings, a heavy workload before seasons begin. Another reason is the Minor League mini-camp the Tigers are holding for pitchers and catchers not on the 40-man roster to help them ramp up for the Triple-A season.
