Detroit Tigers All-Time Team

DETROIT TIGERS ALL-TIME TEAM

A 28-player roster for the Detroit Tigers.

THE INFIELD

Cabrera is solid enough at third defensively, and it allows us to get his bat in the lineup and still add an outfielder to DH. Gehringer and Trammell would make a fantastic DP combo.

THE OUTFIELD

One of the best outfields among the All-Time Teams, the three combined for 17 batting titles. Heilmann is not a true left fielder, but his stick has to be in the starting lineup.

THE PITCHING STAFF

Verlander is destined to join Prince Hal and Morris in the Hall of Fame, he’s one of his generation’s greatest pitchers and quickly climbing the list of all-time greats. Bridges was a tiny righthander with a gutsy competitive spirit.
