Earlier this season, Brad Ausmus was asked about a base-running mistake that cost his team a run. The Detroit skipper responded by saying, ?This game isn?t played by robots. It?s played by humans, and humans make mistakes.?

Going into the break, the not-built-for-speed Tigers ranked 27th with a -9.3 Base Running Runs Above Average. They?ve been successful on 38 of 53 stolen base attempts.

???

Ian Kinsler is Detroit?s best baserunner. He?s also their best all-around player. Since coming to Motown in 2014, the 34-year-old second baseman has accumulated more WAR (12.4) than any Tiger.

A lot of eyebrows were raised when Dave Dombrowski acquired Kinsler from Texas in exchange for power-hitting Prince Fielder. The deal is turning out to be steal for Detroit. Fielder has -0.4 WAR as a Ranger, and Kinsler has out-homered him 45-34.
