2012 MLB Draft: American League Central Division Commentary.
from minorleagueball

Detroit Tigers: The Tiger have a bonus pool of just $2,099,300 and their conservative draft reflects this. Second-rounder Jake Thompson (RHP, Texas HS) and third-rounder Austin Schotts (SS, Texas HS) are considered signable. Thompson has average velocity that may improve, while Schotts features speed and decent hitting skills. Conservative college picks fill out the class, with the likes of Drew Verhagen (RHP, Vanderbilt, 4th round), Joe Rogers (LHP, Central Florida, 5th round), and pitchability experts Jordan John (LHP, Oklahoma, 6th round) and Hudson Randall (RHP, Florida, 7th round) projecting as role pitchers in the majors. The best tools belong to Jake Stewart (OF, Stanford, 9th round) who is a good athlete but never lived up to expectations in college. Sleeper if signable: Logan Ehlers, LHP, Howard JC, 20th round. It seems unlikely that they could sign Clate Schmidt (RHP, Georgia HS, 36th round) away from Clemson, given the small bonus pool.

The Tigers have signed third rounder Austin Schotts for $389K, says BA's Jim Callis. The high school shortstop has very good speed and some power.

Tigers sign 5th-rounder Joe Rogers for $211,900 (full pick value). CentralFlorida LHP has solid fastball/curve combo.
