Tigers once drafted 3 HOFers in the same year
Morris and Trammell package The Detroit Tigers have the first overall pick in the 2018 Draft, which begins June 4. For a rebuilding ballclub with a thin farm system, this Draft is an opportunity to inject upside and land talent that could potentially form the core of the next great Tigers team.
If they're lucky, the Tigers will land multiple players who become bona fide big leaguers.
If they're really lucky, they'll nab a signature star at No. 1 or elsewhere.
But only in the wildest of Draft dreams could they match what they did 42 years ago, when they brought in one of the greatest harvests in history.
