Minor League Notes

The talk of the MLB draft has been the Detroit Tigers first overall draft pick this year. However, there is more to the draft than just one pick. Over at the Athletic, Max Bultman breaks down six potential second-round picks for the Olde English D.  Bultman takes a look at one pitcher and five positional players whom the Tigers could target in the second round.  It’s an interesting read if you have a subscription to the Athletic. If you don’t I highly recommend getting one.
