The Tigers took another gamble in today's draft, picking New Jersey high school right-hander Rick Porcello in the first round of the draft.
Porcello is a highly-rated pitcher, considered by some to be the best high school pitcher in the draft, but his advisor is Scott Boras, and he's considered one of the toughest players to sign in the entire draft. Of course, the Tigers have a good history with tough signs, having picked Justin Verlander, Cameron Maybin and Andrew Miller in the first round the last three years.
If not for signability, Porcello would have been drafted much higher, possibly as high as second overall to Kansas City.

Look at those young/talented arms we got there. Robertson is still relatively young as well. We're set for a while.
