The Detroit Tigers will be trying to replenish their ranks and build for the future when the 2015 MLB draft begins on June 8.
Detroit will have two picks in the opening round—Nos. 22 and 34— and a total of four in the first three rounds.
It’s tough to predict who the Tigers will choose as 21 dominoes will already have fallen before they have their first say.
Perhaps trends from the past could provide a guide. In recent years, the organization has tended to favor arms in the opening round. During the Dave Dombrowski era (2002-present), Detroit’s top choice has been a pitcher (seven times) nearly twice as often as it’s been a position player (four times).
