2016 MLB Draft: Tigers looking for best value in uncertain pool

There's no clear No. 1 pick this year, and that's muddying the field for the rest of the draft.

DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers will go into the 2016 MLB draft with their highest overall pick since 2009. It's a two-edged sword, because while they'll have a chance to pick a player with better potential at the MLB level, offseason free agent signings prohibit them from selecting another player until the fourth round, at No. 115. It hasn't greatly altered their preparation for the draft, though, and the lack of surefire top draft picks have leveled the playing field a bit this year.
