The 2011 MLB draft could produce a windfall for the Tigers, but not because of the players they selected.
The 2016 MLB amateur player draft is set to take place on June 9, so we figured this would be a good time to take a look back and see how the Detroit Tigers did five years ago in the draft. Five years is about the right time for a first review of a particular draft class, since the players chosen that season should all have found spots on a major league club's 40-man roster. If not, they have been exposed in the Rule 5 draft at least once, if not twice by now.
