Detroit Tigers projected to draft infielder Austin Martin

College baseball is underway, and that means that the MLB draft is drawing ever closer. Saddled with a big-league club that inspires little confidence, a lot of attention among Detroit fans will be aimed squarely at the amateur draft. For the second time in three years, the Tigers were the worst team in baseball, but that means they will be in line to grab a tremendously talented player with the first overall pick this June. Thus far, four players have established themselves as the clear frontrunners for the top spot. Baseball America predicts the eventual pick will be Austin Martin.
