Tigers selected high school RHP Rick Porcello with the 27th pick in the 2007 draft.

And Yankees fans are left disappointed again. Porcello would have been the No. 2 pick in the draft behind Price had cost been irrelevant, but he wants a major league deal and perhaps the largest bonus in the draft. Considered by some to be the top high school pitcher since Josh Beckett, he throws in the mid-90s and has an excellent curveball. If the Tigers can't sign him, he'll go to North Carolina in the fall.
