The Tigers are currently winding down a season best left forgotten, which has been the theme of most of their seasons in recent years. In spite of annual predictions of improvements and dark horse commentary, Detroit has had trouble building any sort of success over the course of a full year in recent memory.
That’s not to say that there haven’t been bright spots amongst the darkness, of course. The Tigers have brought up a few exciting prospects that factor into their future and, of course, there has been the occasional milestone from Miguel Cabrera. But, overall, there just hasn’t been much to cheer about in Motor City lately.
