The Detroit Tigers have scouted over 600 players so they have an idea of who they want. With just $20,000 for anyone who is not drafted in the first five rounds, the plan to get talent to Detroit is a relatively simple one. A chance to play sooner than anyone else.
This week, MLB announced plans for the amateur draft.
