... hit .245/.336/.467. An .803 OPS which would've put him in a pack with guys like Brian Roberts , Magglio Ordonez , and Nick Markakis last season. One thing: those guys aren't catchers.

Willie Hernandez, the game-closing reliever on the '84 world-champion Tigers, won that season's MVP by a wide margin. Since then, the best the Tigers have done in the MVP voting is a quartet of second-place finishes: Alan Trammell, behind Toronto's George Bell in '87; Cecil Fielder, behind Oakland's Rickey Henderson in '90 and Baltimore's Cal Ripken Jr. in '91; and Magglio Ordoñez, way...
