Draft tomorrow

[Michael W]

The amateur draft is tomorrow, and the Tigers have three picks in the top 100:

Round 1: No. 22 overall
Round 2: No. 61 overall
Competitive Balance Round B: No. 69 overall

They get no 3rd round pick, due to signing Framber Valdez. We don't often think about the penalty for signing free-agents, but tomorrow we have to pay that particular piper.  The Tigers' 4th round pick is number 125 overall.

Lefty hitter or high school lefty pitcher?

It's too hard to guess - there are so many picks ahead of us.  Here's a wild guess: the Tigers burn some of their comp balance money and overpay to entice James Clark away from Duke.  They might even be able to do that in the second round.
