If there is one word we in the Freep’s Sports department have read, written, read again, dissected and all-around pondered more than any other in the past four years, it is likely this: “Rebuild.”
We actually thought it would be “Harbaugh,” but, no: Since May 9, 2017, there are 2,515 hits in our archive on “rebuild,” and just 2,230 on “Harbaugh.” (Another disappointing loss for Coach Jim, we know, but at least he didn’t have to go to Ohio for this one.)
And knowing that, we will say this: We’re not going to discuss the effectiveness of the Detroit Tigers’ rebuild right here.
