Detroit Tigers: Mike Pelfrey, Mark Lowe May Have More Trade Value in Season

Detroit Tigers pitchers Mike Pelfrey and Mark Lowe both struggled mightily in 2016 for Brad Ausmus’ team.

Both were signed as free agents last offseason to improve Detroit’s pitching staff.

However, things didn’t exactly go as planned.

Pelfrey simply allowed too many base runners en route to posting a 5.15 FIP and a 5.25 SIERA. The starter’s 6.6 swinging strike percentage also left much to be desired.

What’s more, the former New York Met also put up a 1.73 WHIP. That number that led all starting pitchers with at least 100 innings pitched.
