Another winning month in Detroit going 18-10 and still hanging 4 1/2 games back in third place. With the draft coming up and the Tigers picking third I felt it was a good chance to grab a great player.

Sometimes the most intriguing name isn't always the best player available, or the one that fills the biggest need, but when Jackie Robinson was still on the board when we drafted I couldn't pass up drafting him. The color barrier will be broken in Detroit in my universe a year earlier.

We selected catcher Matt Batts in the second round, third baseman Jack Lohrke in the third round, and a pair of middle relievers to round out the draft (Eddie Erautt and Cot Deal).
