Top 5 Best Late Round Detroit Tigers Draft Picks

I have been buried in history lately. After looking back at the 1993 Detroit Tigers squad, I spent a lot of time researching past drafts to see how past Detroit teams were built. In that research, I came across five draft picks who made it to the majors while wearing the Detroit Tigers uniform while being drafted in the 10th round or later.

5. Gabe Kapler

Kapler is the lowest round draft pick in this top 5. Drafted in the 57th round in 1995 out of high school, his time in Detroit was brief but was one of the key components in the Juan Gonzalez trade, putting up some solid numbers in his career.
