The 2015 Tigers and Major League Draft

TIGERS TAKE A CHANCE WITH 220TH PICK
Insider Eric Longenhagen said: "The Tigers took a big swing in the seventh round in Highlands Ranch (CO) SS Nick Shumpert. Son of former Major Leaguer Terry, Shumpert has rare power for a middle infielder, but he swings and misses too much and will likely have to move to second base."

Last nights draft proceedings thoughts.
from fangraphs

Only two players went last night who weren?t in my top 202: Tigers second-rounder LHP Tyler Alexander from TCU and Braves comp second-rounder LHP A.J. Minter from Texas A&M. Alexander was in the mix for the list, but has fringy stuff in most outings, although I recently heard his stuff ticked up very late. Of the four teams I asked about the pick to see if I missed something, one liked him as a fifth starter with some feel, for a pick a round or two lower than Detroit took him; another had him on the board for rounds 6-10; a third team was a little lower than that; and a fourth team didn?t turn him in, meaning they weren?t going to draft him.
