And for anyone who's wondering where other prominent Tigers are on a list of top players in the system under 25, to qualify you had to be under 25 on Opening Day 2008.

He has bigtime movement on a mid 90s fastball, a dominant slider, and a change. He's 6'6" and a lefty. That sounds more like a 5 star guy than a 4 star. He's been a projected ace since his sophomore year. Don't forget about him because he had a few forgettable performances last year. I would imagine that Miller rates better than that.

Likely the lone 4-star guy on the list, right? I don’t subscribe to BP, so I’m just going to make a guess that Miller’s 3rd on the list, Matt? Likely the lone 4-star guy on the list, right?

That's the nice thing about the lists Kevin Goldstein does for BaseballProspectus. After he does the prospects, he shows where the major leaguers who are under 25 would fit in. Dave T. – Yes.

She is feisty. I can’t believe Eva Longoria has her own tv show, is married to the Spurs guy and is the #2 baseball prospect. She is feisty.

And the worst thing is that it's a poll of some scouts, some non-scouts. Honestly, having Maybin ahead of Colby Rasmus -- and by 4 spots -- is pretty ridiculous. Same draft class and Colby's been better at every level. Oh, and Adam Miller in the top 10 on a prospect list, still, confirms said terrible-ness. Which is upsetting, 'cause Johnathan Mayo's name is attached to it and I don't think they reflect his views (he didn't vote on it, just presented/narrated the video that goes along with it).
