The Detroit Tigers are horrendous at drafting players

During his fourteen years in Detroit, Dombrowski has assembled some magnificent teams, capturing two AL Championships in the process. But for as many good decisions as he has made, the head honcho and his decision-making friends cannot draft players whatsoever.

Now it’s time they are called out.

The Detroit Tigers have a god-awful farm system, which is partly due to their ineptness in the draft room. Almost any decent player, besides Justin Verlander and Rick Porcello, that has donned the English D in the past ten years, was acquired via signing or trade.
