Detroit Tigers Links: Ian Kinsler has found his power stroke

For most of the season, Ian Kinsler power numbers were pretty soft by his standards. Yet he remained a very valuable presence setting the table for Cabrera and co. He was still getting on base at a good clip, drawing his walks and occasionally breaking out for a few multi-hit games. With a slightly altered approach Kinsler was spraying the ball around the field more than he ever has, and showing a lot more patience at the plate. But his home run power was nearly non-existant. Kinsler finally conceded to a more aggressive approach and a return to pulling the ball, and his power has spiked with it.
