Lynn Henning of The Detroit News breaks down the best, worst and more from the Detroit Tigers during the 2017 season:
Player of the year: Ian Kinsler. No one played his position with steadier fire, no one performed more persistently, no Tigers player in 2017 more personified the professional baseball player than Kinsler. His batting average (.236) was a quarter-mile beneath his career number (.273), but he hit 22 home runs and ran the bases, if sometimes overly boldly, with the same raging fire he daily brings to a big-league baseball game. He never lets up.
