Tigers Pass Out Winter League Assignments

Playing winter ball can be an important step in development for a major or minor league prospect. What better way to work on improving flaws in your game, build on what was learned during the regular season, or to show your organization that you're serious about playing baseball?

With that in mind, the Detroit Tigers announced the players from their system that will be playing more baseball this winter. For the sake of space, we'll just list those who saw major league time with the Tigers this year and where they'll be playing.

Ramon Santiago: Dominican Republic, Gigantes

Robbie Weinhardt: Puerto Rico, Senadores

Casper Wells: Puerto Rico, Senadores

Enrique Gonzalez: Venezuela, Tiburones

Jeff Frazier: Dominican Republic, Estrellas

Alfredo Figaro: Dominican Republic, Estrellas

Get your Senadores and Estrellas tickets now, Tigers fans! Weinhardt and Wells are on Twitter, too, so maybe we'll be getting some interesting anecdotes from Puerto Rico. 

You can read the rest of the list, which includes minor leaguers, via The Detroit News.
