2013 MLB Draft results: Jonathon Crawford selected by Tigers with the No. 20 pick.
from SBNation

The question is whether he can fine tune what can be a great slider and develop a changeup to go along with it. If he can, Crawford can be a top three starter in the big leagues. If not, he may just end up in the bullpen.

Tigers Punt.
With three picks on day one, the Tigers made some head-scratchers, taking three college arms -- two starters with questions marks about remaining as starters long term and a current reliever. At 20th overall, Detroit went with Jonathan Crawford out of the University of Florida. Crawford?s velocity dropped a bit this year and there are some concerns about his delivery that may lead to problems with his command and durability. The Tigers really went off the board at 39th overall, taking reliever, Corey Knebel out of the University of Texas and selected Kevin Ziomek with their second-round pick.

Tigers select Georgia Tech RHP Buck Farmer. http://www.mlb.com/r/video?topic_id=40395496&content_id=26018689

Tigers have some really nice picks. Snag up @GT_Baseball RHP Buck Farmer. Farmer is tough as nails, good velo on FB/stuff.

KendallRogers from Perfect Game
Tigers fans should be happy with Crawford, Knebel, Kubitza, Farmer, Ziomek and Thompson. That's a hell of a draft of arms.

 

[kalinecountry]

Calvin Drummond, Arizona Christian (AZ) RHP R/R
6'03" 200lbs DOB: 09/22/89 | Scouting video
Drummond has had a transient college career and attended four different schools in five years, though he only pitched at two of them. Most recently, he was declared ineligible at San Diego and transferred to Arizona Christian this year, only to find himself ineligible there as well. Drummond hasn?t pitched in a game this year, but scouts have watched his regular bullpen sessions. His stuff hasn?t suffered and his fastball sits in the mid-90s. He mixes it with a good slider, as well as a curveball and changeup. Drummond has the stuff to be a starter, but he is already 23 and could be fast-tracked as a reliever.

Unprecedented, surprise another Pitcher, streak continues.

6 (186): Tigers select Arizona Christian RHP Calvin Drummond. http://www.mlb.com/r/video?topic_id=...nt_id=27680323 ? #MLBDraft

Connor Harrell Vanderbilt (TN) CF R/R SR 6'03" 220lbs DOB: 03/24/91.
Harrell has patrolled center field for Vanderbilt for four years and his impressive tools have been well established. His performance, however, was always somewhat lacking. Harrell began to put it together this spring and is one of the better college seniors in the Draft. Listed at 6-foot-3, 215 pounds, he is physical and has above-average speed. Harrell has good power, but it comes with a lot of swing-and-miss. Harrell has a good arm and enough range to continue manning center field as a professional. He was drafted by the Tigers in the 31st round in 2012 and stands to be selected much earlier this year.



Tigers select Hill Junior College RHP Zach Reininger in Round 8 (pick 246).

 

[kalinecountry]

Round 9 of MLBDraft, and the Tigers select ... you guessed it, a RHP. This one LSU's Will LaMarche.

Round 10 : Pick 306 Kasey Coffman | CF Arizona State DOB: 09/08/1991.

2nd positional pick in first 10 rounds.
