On MLB Draft Day 2, Tigers don't come up short on pitching
Ernest Hemingway wrote an epic novel entitled “A Farewell to Arms.”
The Tigers, who weren’t trying to be cute Sunday and Monday, decided their theme for the 2021 Major League Baseball Draft would be “a big organizational hello to arms,” which, face it, is what they needed, and what they believe they got through the first 10 rounds.
Eight new pitchers were in their grips late Monday after they began their arms race Sunday evening when they took Jackson Jobe, a prep superstar right-hander with their first pick, and followed with University of Texas right-hander Ty Madden with their next turn.
