Detroit Tigers Team Notes

February 10 in Tigers and mlb history :

1910 - Major League owners are now forbidden to own more than one baseball franchise.

1925 - At an American League meeting, a plan is adopted to alternate the site of future World Series openers by league rather than deciding it by a coin toss, with Games One, Two, Six, and Seven in one park and Three, Four, Five in the other, unless a ban on Sunday baseball interferes in one city. The clubs finishing fourth in the AL will share in the World Series pool. World Series umpires get a raise to $2,500, while umps in city series will earn $700. The plan was proposed in 1924, but is formally adopted at this meeting.

Detroit Tigers Team Notes

FACTS & FLUKES
Young a strong bounceback candidate? Delmon Young (OF, DET) struggled with an assortment of minor injuries in 2011's first half, then produced a second half approaching his 2010 breakout season. Young was especially productive after his mid-August acquistion by DET, producing eight HR and 32 RBI in 40 games.
Likely positioned in a middle-of-the-order spot in a power-laden DET lineup, Young looms as a prime rebound candidate whose production could approach that of his breakout 2010 season:

Young's virtual across-the-board second half rebound featured resurgent power, xBA, BA and ct%. Even his notoriously atrocious Eye improved from the first half.
Young has a history of out-performing his xBA due to strong hit rates, though his BA/xBA gap has narrowed in recent seasons as his h% has dipped from the mid-30s to the lower 30s. Despite middling xBA , Young is likely to be at least BA-neutral, and could even be a slight BA asset.
While he has posted only one season with 100+ PX, Young is still only 26, and not yet in his prime. His power could still grow, especially given his lengthy experience.
With the opportunities awaiting him in a productive DET lineup, this could be the year to add Young, especially since he might be discounted due to last season's overall disappointment.
