Two players stand out before the rebuild for the Detroit Tigers.
The process of rebuilding a baseball club has its tough times and bouts of ugliness. This is something we expect. The Detroit Tigers truly launched their current “process” when it became patently clear the halcyon days of contention for the club built around Justin Verlander and Miguel Cabrera had run its natural course. Maybe we just didn’t know good it was.
The song of birds amid the bowers;
The crystal of the azure seas;
The music of the southern breeze;
And, over all, the blessed sun,
Telling of halcyon days begun.
