All hail Scott Harris, the greatest executive in Detroit Tigers history!
(Just don’t call him the Tigers’ general manager. Harris is the president of baseball operations, a step up from his GM role with the San Francisco Giants, and he’ll be hiring the Tigers’ next GM … at some point.)
Ever since he took the top job here in Detroit, the Tigers simply can’t be beat. Well, OK, there was that one loss, Wednesday against the Orioles, but five wins in six tries is pretty good — including a sweep on the South Side of Chicago — especially compared to the 55 wins in 146 tries that came before.
