Six former Tigers were picked up in the second day of the MLB draft Tuesday.
Dan Gamache was picked up in the sixth round by the Pittsburgh Pirates, and Casey McElroy went to the San Diego Padres in the 11th round.
Derek Varnadore and Tony Caldwell went to the Florida Marlins in the 17th and 24th rounds, respectively.
Bradley Hendrix was picked by the Tampa Bay Rays in the 22nd round, and Kevin Patterson rounded out Auburn's showing in the draft, going to the Toronto Blue Jays in round 30.
This marks Patterson's third time to get drafted, being picked up by the Chicago White Sox in 2007, and he returned for his senior season after being drafted by Tampa Bay last season.
Auburn is currently tied with Arkansas for the second-longest SEC draft streak behind Georgia.
Georgia has seen a player go to the pro's every year for 39 years, while Auburn and Arkansas both have 37 consecutive drafts with a pick.
