Detroit Tigers players improved greatly following the great debacle that was the 2015 campaign.
After posting a 74-87 record and a -114 run differential in 2015, the team bounced back to go 86-75 with a +29 run differential.
While the team wasn’t ultimately able to clinch a spot in the postseason, they stand an excellent chance to next season.
If anything, general manager Al Avila showed last year that he can significantly improve a team without sacrificing premium talent. If the Tigers general manager can pull off a similar feat during the coming winter, Detroit could be positioned to reclaim a playoff berth next season.
