The Tigers rookie has bailed the Tigers out so far, but they will need more in the second half.
It isn't going too far to say that Michael Fulmer has rescued the Detroit Tigers' season. Imagine the first half without him and you'll find yourself holding a trade deadline firesale in your head. Fulmer is the standout Rookie of the Year candidate in the American League so far, and he has dominated opponents with amazing poise and consistency. For the Tigers to force their way into the playoffs, Fulmer's second half contributions are going to be a major key, even with a looming limit on his innings.
