Ian Kinsler has a shot at becoming the first Tiger to win consecutive Gold Gloves in a decade, and the first Tigers' second baseman to pull off the feat since Lou Whitaker in 1983-85.
Kinsler on Thursday was named a finalist for the American League Gold Glove, along with Brian Dozier of the Minnesota Twins and Dustin Pedroia of the Boston Red Sox.
Kinsler won the first Gold Glove of his career in 2016, and again was rock solid in the field in 2017, even if he struggled at the plate.
The last Tiger to win back-to-back Gold Gloves was catcher Pudge Rodriguez, in 2006-07.
