Kershaw update

No perfect game this time for the potential Tigers draft pick, but he scattered two runs over 6 1/3 innings with 10 strikeouts. Plenty of scouts were present, the Tigers among them. More info from the Dallas Morning News (registration required to see the story):

Kershaw, a left-hander ranked by Baseball America as the nation's top senior, struggled to locate his breaking ball and changeup. He relied on his 90-plus-mph fastball even more than usual.      

"Against a good-hitting team like this, you're going to give up some runs if that's all you're throwing," Kershaw said. "But I was just happy to get the win."

Kershaw's bat was more impressive than his arm against Corsicana (27-8). He went 3-for-3 with a double, a home run and three RBIs.

The Big 12 tournament is this weekend, giving Texas outfielder a Drew Stubbs a chance to make an impression.

This fellow sounds like a great prospect but why is he referred to as the "potential Tigers draft pick"? Do the Tigers have the top pick in an amatuer draft? TIA
