Expand I'd be happy with 9 lefty's. How often would hey see a left-handed pitcher? Some teams don't even have a LH starter and most have only 1 or 2 in the pen. Plus lefties get that extra step coming out of the batters box. Quote

Expand around about the Middle 70's the Tigers got really left handed. I remember I attended a game and IIRC it was 8 LH bats in the starting lineup - everybody but Veryzer. Quote
Tigermojo Posted July 15, 2024 Posted July 15, 2024 (edited) Looking at the MLB grades would put Rainer #3, Hall #6 and Schiefelbein top 10 in the Tigers top 30. Yes of course I copy and pasted Schiefelbein...twice. Edited July 15, 2024 by Tigermojo 1 Quote
