Torii Hunter Jr does have a football scholarship but recently broke his leg.

Oh that's right... I had heard that. Injury-prone, like his dad, I guess. ;-)

He and Ben Verlander have both signed on to play double and triple A ball in the Tigers organization after college.

Interesting. I wonder if Ben Verlander will still be a member of the Connecticut Tigers in 2014. The CT Tigers are a short-season A farm team of the Detroit Tigers. I think they are short season because several of the players are in college...?

The Tigers have several farm teams. I know they have one in the Grand Rapids and if you can make it to play for the Toledo Mud Hens you’ve pretty much made the big time. They’ve got 8 affiliate minor league teams.
