@MCBjohnverburg A little off subject, but not really, just curious, if you had to name teams who you would benefit from the new CBA rules with the draft, who would you say? You only tend to hear about the teams it hurts.

@valordesign Actually this draft was quite different for the Tigers. They selected more high school guys than usual in the 20′s and 30′s than they normally do. Most of the time those are college seniors that they fill their minor league rosters with. Most teams usually select a couple they want to make a run at. The Tigers selected so many, it was clear they weren’t going to make a run at all of them. Just interesting to see how the ones they didn’t sign were doing.

Wow, Mark Appel and Victor Roach would have been awesome to have the system. Don’t alot of teams do this though, where they’ll throw they late round draft picks at guys they know probably won’t sign, but if they do they’ll be rakin in the talent.
