Tigers stand apart in AL Central BY BEN BADLER
L
ast year, the Tigers returned to the playoffs for the first time since 2006. While they lost to the Rangers in the American League Championship Series, the makeup of the AL Central and Detroit’s major league roster should mean it won’t have to wait five years for its next postseason appearance. The Twins and White Sox tumbled in 2011 and have bleak outlooks in 2012. The Indians improved, though they were still just an 80-win team with significant questions. Better days are ahead for the Royals and their enviable stash of high-upside youngsters, but they don’t look ready to go toe-to-toe with Detroit. Homegrown ace Justin Verlander was dominant for the Tigers in 2011, winning the AL pitching triple crown and MVP and Cy Young awards. Yet it was Detroit’s offense, which ranked fourth in the majors in scoring, that carried the team. Miguel Cabrera is on track to become the greatest Venezuelan-born hitter of all time. Victor Martinez and Jhonny Peralta produced in their first seasons under multiyear deals with the Tigers. Draft finds Alex Avila (fifth round, 2008) and Brennan Boesch (third round, 2006) have turned into pleasant offensive surprises, with Avila becoming an all-star last season. Detroit’s farm system is heavier on pitchers than position players, though getting those pitchers acclimated to the big leagues hasn’t been easy. Jacob Turner and Andy Oliver both pitched in the majors in 2011, as did a handful of homegrown relievers, though none found

Justin Verlander won the American League Cy Young and MVP to lead Detroit to an AL Central crown
much immediate success. Former top prospect Rick Porcello will be just 23 in 2012, but he’s coming off two mediocre seasons and already is arbitration-eligible. Turner, No. 1 on this list for the third straight year, could play a role at the back of the rota-
tion at some point this year, though some scouts aren’t sure he’s ready quite yet. He’s a prime example of the Tigers’ willingness to invest in the draft, signing a $5.5 million big league contract as the ninth overall pick in 2009. So is the system’s best position prospect, third baseman Nick Castellanos, who set a supplemental first-round record with a $3.45 million bonus in 2010. Draft spending has paid off for Detroit in the past, especially in the first round. Verlander (2004) and Porcello (2007) received lucrative deals, as did Cameron Maybin (2005) and Andrew Miller (2006), the key pieces used to get Cabrera from the Marlins in a December 2007 trade. The Tigers broke from that blueprint in the 2011 draft, however, ranking next-to-last by spending just $2.9 million. Detroit didn’t have a first-round pick in its first draft under scouting director Scott Pleis. The team also has a new farm director. Mike Rojas held the position for less than a year before becoming the big league bullpen coach in July, and infield instructor Dave Owen was promoted to replace him two months later. Detroit has benefited from its growing international presence, which has yielded several of the best prospects in its system, including Latin American righthanders Brenny Paulino, Bruce Rondon and Ramon Lebron and outfielder Avisail Garcia. The Tigers used a pair of Venezuelans, third baseman Francisco Martinez and righthander Lester Oliveros, in deadline deals to get playoff heroes Doug Fister from the Mariners and outfielder Delmon Young from the Twins.
BORN: May 21, 1991. B-T: R-R. HT.: 6-5. WT.: 210. DRAFTED: HS—St. Louis, 2009 (1st round). SIGNED BY: Marty Miller. BACKGROUND: Turner was a dominant high school pitcher both for Westminster Christian Academy (St. Louis) and on the showcase circuit. At the 2008 Aflac All-American Game, he struck out five straight hitters. While at Westminster Christian, he benefited from the tutelage of pitching coach Todd Worrell, a former all-star closer, and also soaked up knowledge from ex-big leaguers Andy Benes and Mike Matheny, who each had sons on the team. Though Turner’s signability worried some clubs at the time, the Tigers were undeterred and drafted him with the ninth overall pick in 2009. They were able to lure him away from a North Carolina commitment with a $5.5 million big league contract that included a $4.7 million bonus, a record at the time for a prep pitcher. He pitched well at two Class A stops during his first season in pro ball in 2010, then pitched in the Futures Game and made an emergency start for Detroit last July. The first high school pick from the 2009 draft to reach the majors, Turner returned to Detroit for two more starts in September. SCOUTING REPORT: Turner is still just 20 and extremely pol-

ished for his age, showing remarkable feel for pitching and maturity. Big and athletic, he repeats his smooth delivery well and is a prolific strike-thrower, averaging just 2.2 walks per nine innings as a pro. He works from a threequarters arm slot and gets good angle on his two- and four-seam fastballs. Turner sits at 90-94 mph and touches 95 with late, heavy life, which helps him keep the ball on the ground and in the ballpark. His fastball usually isn’t a swingand-miss pitch but his curveball and his changeup both can miss bats and grade from average to plus. Turner’s curveball is a high70s hammer at times though still inconsistent, and he leaned on it more than his changeup when he got to the big leagues. There are some scouts who think that his changeup could end up being just as good if not better than his curve. He sells his changeup with deceptive arm speed and, while in the minors, showed a willingness to throw it even when behind in the count. Turner has a tall, slender frame and will have to continue to strengthen his body to endure the grind of the long pro season. He has had minor elbow and shoulder stiffness early in

2011, but he recovered easily and never has had any major health concerns. THE FUTURE: Detroit is looking for a fifth starter for 2012 and Turner could compete for that job during spring training. Turner wasn’t quite ready when the Tigers called him up last year in July, but he cruised at Triple-A Toledo after they sent him back down to the Mud Hens. The most likely scenario is that Turner opens 2012 in Triple-A and arrives in the majors quickly if he is able to get off to a good start out of the gate. While he doesn’t have the pure stuff of a true ace pitcher, he has the repertoire and command to be a No. 2 or 3 starter in the big leagues. While he didn’t reach Detroit quite as fast as fellow high school first-rounder Rick Porcello, Turner has better stuff and a brighter future.
