See how the Tigers stack up against MLB's 800+ players

It must have taken a lot of research for MLB.com to put together its 2015 player preview.

The website ranked every major leaguer in baseball going into spring training, which begins when pitchers and catchers report in a couple weeks. The rankings also feature projected statistics for each player.

The best way to go about this is to go through all the Tigers on the list with their projected stats so, without further ado:

• No. 6: Miguel Cabrera, 1B: .313, 90 runs, 31 home runs, 107 RBI, one stolen base.

• No. 33: David Price, SP: 16-9, 3.03 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, 218 strikeouts.

• No. 40: Yoenis Cespedes, OF: .313, 84 R, 25 HR, 95 RBI, 8 SB.

• No. 41: Victor Martinez, DH: .320, 76 R, 22 HR, 92 RBI, 1 SB.

• No. 45: Ian Kinsler, 2B: .266, 92 R, 16 HR, 78 RBI, 15 SB.

• No. 88: J.D. Martinez, OF: .279, 67 R, 23 HR, 87 RBI, 6 SB.

• No. 129: Anibal Sanchez, SP: 13-8, 3.53 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, 161 K.

• No. 753: Kyle Lobstein, SP: 2-3, 4.25 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, 39 K.

That's all of the Tigers on the list. Other notables:

• Former starting pitchers: Max Scherzer ranks 22nd, Doug Fister ranks 159th and Rick Porcello ranks 280th.

• A possible future Tiger? Right-hander James Shields, who's still a free agent, ranks 106th, with projected stats of 14-10, 3.56 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 189 strikeouts.

• Bon voyage: Torii Hunter, who returned to his former team, the Minnesota Twins, is 264th.

• And last, but definitely not least: Don Kelly, the ex-Tigers utilityman and (somehow) fan favorite, ranks 826th out of 827 players. The only player he ranks ahead of is Los Angeles Angels first baseman Marc Krauss.
