Former Tiger prospects try to change their stripes

It just occurred to me the other day that the Red Sox and Phillies each have a reclamation project in camp who was a first-round draft pick and highly touted prospect of the Tigers.

Both Andrew Miller and Matt Anderson had a successful first appearance in an inning's work last week (though they both had less impressive second outings since then). It's still early and the odds are long - especially for the Phillies' Anderson - but I wouldn't be surprised to see one of the sidebars of the 2011 World Series is how each team can thank the Tigers' scouting department for one of their bullpen finds.
