Movember MLB Mustache Madness: Wild Card Semi-Finals - Bernie Brewer vs. Magglio Ordonez

Found November 17, 2011 on Bloguin Best:
PLAYERS: Magglio Ordonez,  Bobby Valentine
TEAMS: Detroit Tigers

Mlb_may_31_f863
In our final contest of the Movember MLB Mustache Madness regional semi-finals, the Wild Card bracket gives a pair of big fake artifical ones... mustaches I mean. What did you think I was talking about? Bernie Brewer Considering the great legacy of Brewer mustaches it is only fair that their mascot boast one of the best in the mascot business, but is it good enough to beat out the fake mustache of a real MLB player? VS. Magglio Ordonez I still can't believe Maggs took out Bobby Valentine, but he did, and handily so. In fact, I'm a little worried that the combination of this Conquistador-esque look and his winning ways might prompt him to try and re-conquer the Aztec Empire. Time to vote!

Detroit Tigers bringing back Brad Penny?

Via isportsweb.com  |  November 18, 2011
OK, that article header is meant to be taken figuratively, so hang in there with me. If the Detroit Tigers don’t bring back the Brad Penny to be their 5th starter in 2012, they are very likely to bring back a Brad Penny. Brad Penny The Tigers would have absolutely loved for one of their few home-grown products to prove MLB worthy at this point. However, Andy Oliver has tanked in...

Will The Luck Factor Continue For Detroit in 2012?

Via Rant Sports  |  November 16, 2011
The Detroit Tigers won the American League Central last year with relative ease. The Indians and White Sox attempted to keep jabbing at Detroit, while the Tigers laid the knock out punch in mid-September. Tigers were undoubtedly the best team last year in the Central. I am not trying to debate the results. 2011 is over though and it’s time to look at 2012. I’m wondering...

Justin Verlander Top 3 Pitching Seasons in MLB

Via Sports Report 360  |  November 17, 2011
It is hard to get better with age, but Justin Verlander is doing just that as he is arguably the best pitcher in the game right now coming off of an impressive 24 win season. Here is a look at his best three seasons in the MLB. Justin Verlander 2009 This was a great season for Verlander as he came into spring training in wonderful shape. On the season, he had 19 wins, a career high...

Brennan Boesch Player Projection No. 141

Via Fantasy Baseball 365  |  November 18, 2011
Key Stats: Brennan Boesch is going to be 27 years old and has just completed his 2nd “full” year of big league play. He gave us a solid .283/.341/.458 slash line in 2011 good enough for him to be deserving of a roster spot in 10 team leagues. He increased his power last season hitting two more HR’s in 40 less AB’s over the previous season while also striking out less. We...

Justin Verlander wins AL MVP…Sounds good right?

Via The GM's Perspective  |  November 18, 2011
I will say it outright, “Justin Verlander should win the American League MVP award.” If you remove Justin Verlander from the Detroit Tigers, they are not a playoff team, not even close. Verlander accounts for 25% of his teams wins and the argument is still made that pitcher’s should not win the MVP. Heck, his own coach, Jim Leyland said pitchers shouldn&rsquo...

Entering the 2011 season, there were plenty of contenders for the title of top pitcher in the American League. But after he pitched a no-hitter in May, led the Tigers to their first division title since 1987 and easily won the pitching Triple Crown (wins, strikeouts and ERA), there was just one: Justin Verlander.

Justin Verlander, The Cy Young And His Competition

Via FanAttic Network  |  November 16, 2011
The easiest way to approve of the unanimous Cy Young Justin Verlander won is to consider the outstanding pitchers he overshadowed. Jered Weaver posted an 18-8 record, 2.41 ERA and 198 strikeouts, numbers that in any other year, garner him the plaudits reserved in 2011 for his Detroit counterpart. James Shields quietly pushed around the American League East (16-12, 2.82 ERA, 225 strikeouts...

Tigers Sign Gerald Laird to a One Year Contract; Fanbase Immediately Panics

Via Detroit4lyfe  |  November 17, 2011
Ok, the bad news first: the Tigers have signed Gerald Laird to be their backup catcher. The good news? This D4L-original photoshop is now relevant again. In all honesty, the Tigers could have done A LOT worse than Laird as a backup catcher going into next season. Laird is a good defensive catcher and already knows most of the Tigers' pitching staff. If this signing prevents...

Verlander’s strong starts, revisited

Via The Hardball Times  |  November 17, 2011
With Justin Verlander’s unanimous selection as the AL Cy Young Award winner, it seems like a good time to revisit an article written on August 3rd exploring how dominant Verlander had been at the start of games. On July 31st, Verlander took a no-hit bid into the 8th inning, marking the third time he had accomplished that feat in his first 24 starts. Using a calculation described...

Verlander a unanimous choice for AL Cy Young

Via kansascity.com  |  November 15, 2011
There might be no more obvious choice in this year's awards than Detroit ace Justin Verlander as the American League Cy Young winner. The bigger question is whether his dominance will result next week in being chosen as the league's Most Valuable Player. The two previous AL Cy Young winners, Zack Greinke and Felix Hernandez, came from losing teams and benefited from an increasing...

Gerald Laird is Back

Via Tiger Tales  |  November 17, 2011
The Tigers have made their first somewhat significant move of the off-season by signing catcher Gerald Laird to a one-year deal. Before you get too upset, keep in that he will probably be playing fewer than 40 games as Alex Avila's back-up catcher.  The 32-year-old Laird needs no introduction to Tigers fans who remember him as a good field no hit catcher on the 2009-2010 teams...
