Draft Links
By Blake VandeBunte • Jun 10th, 2009 • Category: 2009 Season, Andy Oliver, Jacob Turner, Wade GaynorThere is no shortage of MLB Draft information out there. I’m not going to just put the same stuff out there as everyone else. So, the least I can do is put together links to make the information easier to find. Here it is:
- Detroit Tigers Weblog does a good job of summing up the first day of picks for the Tigers.
- Mack Avenue Tigers adds a bit more to the conversation.
- Motor City Bengals does a really nice job of introducing us to the three newest Tigers. Check this one out.
- MLB.com profile on Tigers first round pick, Jacob Turner.
- ESPN profile on Turner.
- The Tigers second round pick, Andy Oliver was involved in a pickle of a lawsuit over the past year.
- Oliver’s ESPN player profile. Word is he tops out at 95 mph on the gun.
- The Tigers took 3B Wade Gaynor in the third round. Here are his stats.
- Check out Gaynor’s page at the Western Kentucky website.

Finaly a quality third baseman selected!
I have heard a lot about Turner and Oliver as well.
The draft just didn’t seem to have the “flair” of last year in my opinion though when the stole four of the hottest relievers on the market. Although it is promising to see a power lefty starting pitcher selected. Our pitching depth is looking pretty good!
Yeah, that power pitching has clearly been a priority for Dombrowski. He’s spent most of his early picks the last few years on pitchers. Things should be looking really good in two years or so.
