BP's Top 100, the IBC Tigers, and the building process

[Rangers]

Kevin Goldstein's Top 100 gives a good idea of the process the Tigers have used to build the roster. Fifteen of its members were drafted in 2007 and therefore could not be traded. Of that group, Matt Wieters, #12, is a Tiger. Other current Tigers on the list include Andrew McCutchen, #24, and Jacob McGee, #40. That leaves 83 players. A remarkable 32 (about 40%) have spent time on the Tigers roster:

7. Travis Snider - obtained in trade, led to Holliday acquisition
