25 Feb 1998: Tony Clark #17 of the Detroit Tigers stretching during Spring Training at the Merchant Stadium in Lakeland, Florida.
The Detroit Tigers’ patience with Tony Clark paid off in an otherwise strange 1990 MLB Draft.
Within the last decade, the Detroit Tigers have drafted positional players primarily out of college in the first five rounds of the draft with the exception of Nick Castellanos in 2010 (44th overall) and Derek Hill in 2014 (23rd overall). For Castellanos, he was in one of the last draft classes in which there was no spending limit for a pick.
