Here’s the good news about Monday night’s MLB draft for the Detroit Tigers: They will have a lot of great options with the fifth pick.
And here’s even better news: The Tigers need a bat desperately and the top of this draft is heavy with offensive players.
But all things are not equal. If the Tigers take a high school player, it will be several years before we see him in Detroit. If they take a college bat, the chances of seeing that player sooner are far greater.
