Detroit Tigers: Daz Cameron

Everything has gone perfectly according to plan this year for the rebuilding Detroit Tigers. They are on track to land the No. 1 overall pick in next year’s draft and have gotten huge years out of their top pitching prospects at Double-A, Casey Mize and Matt Manning. While Mize and Manning are still a year away from the big leagues, they look to be the future one-two punch that will lead the Tigers back to winning baseball.

Detroit is still working with a very young farm system that will still need another full season to begin yielding real fruit at the next level. The best prospects are still at Double-A and below, but the Tigers do have some older prospects at Triple-A who should be given a look in September with the team playing out the string.

Center fielder Daz Cameron, son of All-Star Mike Cameron, was a first-round pick by the Houston Astros out of high school and came to the Tigers as part of the Justin Verlander trade. Still only 22, Cameron has reached Triple-A this year and is still viewed as a potential everyday player in the big leagues. Cameron is athletic and runs well.

Cameron has hit just .214/.330/.378 at Triple-A with 13 home runs and 17 stolen bases. The batting average may be low, but there is still reason for optimism, especially over the outfielder’s improved approach at the plate. With the roster for next season still completely up in the air, the Tigers need to see some MLB at-bats from Cameron so they have a better idea where he stands come Spring Training.
