Detroit Tigers: Statistical leaders from the first half
Detroit Tigers baseball returns on Friday. The team is back from the All-Star break after an up-and-down first half. Here are the team’s statistical leaders so far.
Detroit Tigers fans didn’t see the best first half of baseball in 2017.
The team stumbled to a 39-48 record. While there were some encouraging stretches, there were also some—how shall we say—not so encouraging stretches.
Detroit’s eight-game losing streak certainly didn’t help matters in the standings, but there have been some positives to help counterbalance the negatives.
Alex Avila, originally signed to compliment James McCann at the dish, is vastly out-producing his fellow backstop–not to mention most of the league.
