The first isn’t always last.

The Detroit Tigers came to terms with their first-round pick, Florida right-hander Jonathon Crawford, they announced on Friday, along with 18 more of their 41 picks in last weekend’s draft.

Crawford, the 20th pick in the first round, signed for right at the slot amount of $2,001,700 according to Jim Callis of Baseball America. The Tigers have a total bonus pool of $6,467,400.
