Six months from now the picture will be clearer. Choices should be more distinct. The Tigers by then might have decided who they’ll grab with the first pick of big-league baseball’s 2020 draft.
Spencer Torkelson? Austin Martin? Emerson Hancock?
Or, it could be someone who has done what blessed talent often does during the weeks preceding a draft — come from behind to win scouts’ hearts and front offices’ passions.
Which would explain why projections for the June draft are just that — projections — although in the case of Torkelson, Martin, and Hancock, about the only thing that looks as if it could derail them from "Top Three" status is an arm going to pieces or a bat taking a weird sabbatical.
