Friday open thread: How many Hall of Famers have played for the Tigers since 2006?

Full disclosure: this open thread is simply an opportunity for us to rant about the terrible opinion of an unnamed baseball writer. This individual, quoted by the completely innocent Matt Eddy of Baseball America, was unsure of the Hall of Fame credentials of one Miguel Cabrera. Yes, the same Miguel Cabrera who won back-to-back MVPs in 2012 and 2013, and who clinched baseball’s first Triple Crown in a few decades en route to that first MVP award.

As one might expect, Eddy’s poll was rather lopsided.

I deleted my clumsily worded tweet about Miguel Cabrera's Hall of Fame chances.
