The 2015 Detroit Tigers season can be considered a fluke. On paper in spring training, the Tigers had all of the pieces necessary to be a playoff-contending team. They had the best hitter on the planet, one of the toughest closers, a remarkable designated hitter, a shortstop that could fly, and unstoppable corner outfielders. But, the season proved that numbers on paper can be meaningless. If it were not for the injuries that created a rotating door of pitchers, left fielders, first basemen, and shortstops, the season would most likely have been quite different.
