This is a weekly look by Lynn Henning of The Detroit News at the candidates the Tigers could consider with the No. 1 pick in June's draft.
In last Thursday’s showcase game at the University of Florida’s baseball venue at Gainesville, Fla., it wasn’t by coincidence that six Tigers scouts and front-office bosses happened to be sitting together.
They wanted to see how the guy who most likely will be announced as the 2018 draft’s first overall pick, Auburn right-hander Casey Mize, would fare against Florida ace Brady Singer, who a few months ago was considered the likely top prize in this year’s draft, which is set for June 4.
