Recently I was going through some older baseball cards and came across a Hideo Nomo card from when he played with the Tigers for a single season in 2000. This got me to thinking who else I could recall playing for Detroit for one year before leaving, retiring, etc. In my research I came to…
As the GM meetings wrapped-up in Las Vegas, there were plenty of rumors involving Tigers outfielder Nick Castellanos, but all signs point to a trade happening closer to the start of spring training. The teams involved in these rumors, the Dodgers, the Braves, and potentially the Astros (who made an offer in July) all are…
The Detroit Tigers are set to agree to a 1-year contract with former Pittsburgh Pirates Shortstop, 32-year old Jordy Mercer. The deal is worth $5.25mm with another $250k in incentives.

So far, we’ve examined Lou Whitaker’s resume in part one and how it stacks up against other Hall of Fame second basemen in part 2. For the third part I’ll take a closer look at Hall of Fame second basemen during including slight before and after) Sweet Lou’s era. The list includes Joe Morgan who…
As did with building the case for Alan Trammell, next I’ll compare the best, worst, and average for key stat categories and where Lou Whitaker fits in amongst second basemen in the Hall (20 currently). Additionally, I’ll add in Ryne Sandberg based on Baseball-Reference.com and the three most similar batters to Lou in his career,…
Now that Tram is headed to the Hall of Fame, let’s start to take a look and see if a case can’t be made for Trams double play partner, Lou Whitaker. Lets start off with how we started for Tram with an article written by Yahoo Sports in 2011 about the 10 greatest home grown…
