In 2007 was actually the Tribe's best hitter in post season getting many big hits, and he's continued his good post season hitting with Detroit. We just focus on only the bad things. He really hasn't lifted his game at all in Detroit, he just is what he's always been. Everyone's better when you put them with Cabrera, Fielder and Verlander!!

I see what you mean.It does obliterate the axiom that a team has to be strong up the middle, defensively.
I agree about his arm and he did turn the double play well....but boy his range certainly was 60 feet apart and not 90.
But he does seem like a nice guy so it's good to hear it for him.
