Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2024 revision of our top 50 Detroit Tigers.
As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the American League.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.
Please note that our algorithm has changed, which yielded minor changes throughout the baseball lists.
Last year, the Tigers returned to the playoffs in a what was considered a surprise. They won 86 Games, and made it to the second round, losing to Cleveland in five games in the Divisional Series. Despite the success, there were no new entrants, but one return based on the new algorithm.
As always, we present our top five, which saw some significant changes.
1. Ty Cobb
2. Al Kaline
You can find the entire list here.
The top five saw some major changes. Charlie Gehringer went from #4 to #3 and Harry Helmann went from #6 to #4. This knocked Miguel Cabrera off the top five, as he went from #5 to #6.
With the new algorithm, Carlos Guillen returns to the list. He is ranked #49.
We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.
