Despite being in first place in the American League Central for just 34 days
during the season and finishing with the seventh-best record (88-74) in the
league, the Tigers returned to the playoffs in 2012, making back-to-back
trips to the postseason for the first time since 1934-35.
Tied with the White Sox for the division lead with eight games left, the
Tigers finished with a 6-2 kick. Detroit needed all five games to beat the
Athletics in an AL Division Series, then swept the Yankees in the American
League Championship Series before suffering the same fate at the hands of the
Giants in the World Series.
Though Detroit is the poorest of America's 25 largest cities, fans supported
the club by making it one of just nine teams to draw three million fans in
2012. They repaid 83-year-old Tigers owner Mike Ilitch, who authorized the
game's fifth-highest Opening Day payroll ($132 million) in an attempt to win
his first World Series and the franchise's first since 1984.
Three players accounted for nearly half of that payroll total. Prince Fielder
($23 million), signed as a free agent in the offseason, delivered as expected
by hitting .313 with 30 homers. Miguel Cabrera ($21 million) was even better,
winning baseball's first triple crown since 1967 by batting .330 with 44
homers and 139 RBIs. Justin Verlander ($20 million) followed his MVP/Cy Young
season of 2011 by going 17-8, 2.68 and leading the majors with 239 strikeouts
and 238 innings.
That may be the best nucleus in the game, and the Tigers will continue
fielding it. Verlander is signed through 2014, Cabrera is locked up through
2015 and Fielder is extended through 2020, with a total of $296 million
remaining on their contracts.
Cabrera, Fielder and Verlander will have to keep producing, because the farm
system has little to offer in the way of solid regulars and starting pitchers
beyond third baseman Nick Castellanos and outfielder Avisail Garcia. The
Tigers used to be one of the most aggressive teams in the draft, but they
have forfeited their last three first-round picks as free-agent compensation
for Jose Valverde, Victor Martinez and Fielder. Detroit spent $6 million on
the 2011-12 drafts, the second-lowest total in baseball.
While the Tigers haven't finished higher than 23rd in Baseball America's
annual organization talent rankings since 2007, they have gotten some
production out of their system. They're tied with the Cubs with 12 players
who have reached the majors from the 2008-12 drafts, most notably Alex Avila
and Andy Dirks.
Detroit also has been able to trade minor leaguers for key additions to the
major league roster during the last three seasons. The Tigers astutely picked
up Jhonny Peralta (from the Indians for lefthander Giovanni Soto) in 2010,
and Doug Fister (from the Mariners for big leaguers Charlie Furbush and
Casper Wells, third baseman Francisco Martinez and righty Chance Ruffin) and
Delmon Young (from the Twins for lefty Cole Nelson and righty Lester
Oliveros) in 2011. Last season, they grabbed Anibal Sanchez and Omar Infante
from the Marlins for former No. 1 overall prospect Jacob Turner, catcher Rob
Brantly, lefty Brian Flynn and a swap of competitive-balance lottery picks.
