Tigers win a pick at end of second round in next year's draft thanks to competitive balance lottery. Potentially big chip in trade talks.
more to follow.

All added up, a "B" round pick in 2013= about a mid 2nd round pick in 2012. Reduced No of comp picks after 1st round.

Comp Round B order: 1. Padres; 2. Indians; 3. Rockies; 4. Athletics; 5. Brewers; 6. Tigers

Tigers Awarded Pick In Competitive Lottery.
from TigsTown

The Tigers were awarded the sixth pick in Round B in the Competitive Balance Lottery on Wednesday. The pick will come after the second round of the 2013 draft and is eligible to be traded this year. While the draft order isn't finalized, the pick will be around 75th overall.

So we are basically talking about a player that would be good enough to get a 750K bonus with the new draft pick slotting.
