Detroit Tigers fans haven’t always had the best luck with first-round picks.
The likes of Justin Verlander, Rick Porcello and Nick Castellanos have all worked out. However for every Verlander, Porcello and Castellanos, there’s a Ryan Perry or Jacob Turner.
Detroit, which didn’t even have first-round selections in 2011 and 2012 due to free agent signings, has seen many first-round fail to live up to their draft position.
What’s more, many of the franchise’s first-round picks were dealt before they had a chance to reach Detroit.
