Following the hiring of ex-Astros manager AJ Hinch, Detroit Tigers fans have been dreaming of one day reuniting with hall-of-fame starter Justin Verlander. However, former Cy Young winner Rick Porcello may be the ex-Tiger due for a reunion even sooner.
Detroit Tigers fans will remember Porcello as the promising youngster that bust onto the scene in 2009 at the ripe age of 20, finishing third in American League Rookie of the Year voting.
