Top Tigers bWAR seasons since 1970:
8.2 - Alan Trammel 1987
7.6 - Miguel Cabrera 2011
7.6 - Curtis Granderson 2007
7.5 - Miguel Cabrera 2013
7.3 - Magglio Ordonez 2007
7.1 - Miguel Cabrera 2012
6.4 - Alan Trammel 1984
Kevin McGonigle is on pace to put up 11.6 bWAR…

Players age 21 or younger to have at least 15 extra-base hits and 15 walks in the first 28 games of their career:-Kevin McGonigle.
That's it. That's the entire list. He's the ONLY player in MLB history to ever accomplish that.

Kevin McGonigle has now reached base safely in 24 consecutive starts. It's the longest streak for a Tigers player aged 21-or-younger since Al Kaline reached base in 34 straight starts from July 26 to August 28, 1956.

So…with no recorded decision on Monday, April 27…the Tigers find themselves in sole possession of 1st place in the AL Central.

Maybe when the Tigers actually start playing THE TEAMS IN ITS OWN FREAKING LEAGUE, we'll get an accurate measure of their ability to contend for the post season.

To win the WS you got to win games in the other leauge!

The tigers are 10-8 inter-League play.

We need to fix the road record
The outlier is being swept by Minnesota earlier this year.

Tigers are
10-2 at home
5-12 on the road. (With 2 Jansen blown saves) if I'm remembering it right
