Pod of Fame Episode 56: Lou Whitaker with Cody Stavenhagen. 48 minutes.

Jim is joined by Cody Stavenhagen, Detriot Tigers beat writer for The Athletic, to breakdown the hall of fame candidacy of former Tigers Second Baseman Lou Whitaker.

Jim and John first discuss hard it is to talk about Whitaker without bringing up his double-play partner Alan Trammell, who recently was voted into Cooperstown in 2018 (6:38). Next, they talk about the 1984 World Series, similarities between Whitaker and current HOF candidate Scott Rolen, and Whitaker's eye-popping WAR (10:31).

Finally, they discuss why Whitaker only won four gold gloves despite being one of the better defensive second basemen in history and how that impacts his candidacy (33:26), before coming to a conclusion on whether or not Whitaker deserves a plaque in Cooperstown (40:06)

Detroit?s Next GM Might Be in the Dugout.

Detroit didn?t do much at the deadline. Trading Robbie Grossman to Atlanta in exchange for soon-to-turn 21-year-old pitching prospect Kris Anglin was the only move. Many fans expected more. A disgruntled fan base thought that Monday?s swap of an underachieving outfielder for a potential future asset would be the first of multiple deals for Al Avila?s underachieving team.

[Update/correction: The Tigers also traded reliever Michael Fulmer to the Minnesota Twins in exchange for Sawyer Gipson-Long, a 24-year-old 2019 sixth-round pick who was pitching at the Double-A level.]

The extent to which the relative inactivity was an indictment of Avila is a matter of opinion. Rival executives almost assuredly weren?t knocking down the GM?s door with appealing offers, and making trades for the sake of making trades is eyewash. Placating fans by simply moving pieces around doesn?t move the needle in any meaningful direction.

With a record of 43-66 and baseball?s 24th-rated farm system, which direction the club is heading in is far less clear than it was a year ago. Much for that reason, it?s easy to see why many in Motown would like to see Avila kicked to the curb.

Not everything that has gone wrong ? and a lot has certainly gone wrong ? can be placed squarely on the Detroit GM?s shoulders. But while this year?s plethorae of injuries and disappointing performances were largely beyond his control, Avila is nonetheless the architect of what has been a sluggish rebuild. The idea that said rebuild is in need of a rebuild of its own may be a valid one.

Which brings us to the crux of the issue at hand: Who can right the ship?

If Avila isn?t the answer ? evidence is mounting against him ? would Tigers ownership be best-served by bringing in someone from the outside, or does a better choice exist within Detroit?s inner circle? Sam Menzin, one of the team?s three assistant GMs, is an intriguing possibility. So is Scott Bream, whose title is VP/Player Personnel.

And then there is A.J. Hinch. Now in his second year at the helm, Detroit?s analytically-inclined manager has front office experience on his resume, and it is believed that he aspires to one day become a general manager. Might Hinch make that transition without changing organizations? Don?t be surprised if he does. Al Avila?s replacement could very well be sitting in the Tigers dugout.

Fangraphs
 
August 8 in Tigers and mlb history:

1903: The New York Giants' Joe McGinnity repeats his feat from August 1st, when he defeats the Brooklyn Superbas in both ends of a doubleheader, 6 - 1 and 4 - 3. A week earlier he beat the Boston Beaneaters, 4 - 1 and 5 - 2. McGinnity also is credited with a steal of home in the second game while Brooklyn is arguing a disputed call at third base. Brooklyn P Henry Schmidt is so upset about the steal that he throws the ball out of the park? a toss that gets him tossed from the game. On August 31st? Iron Joe will beat the Phillies twice. He has now done double work five times? including two losses on each of the two occasions at Baltimore in 1901. The combination of his 434 innings pitched and 31 wins? with Christy Mathewson's 366 innings pitched and 30 wins? will make them the century's most productive one-season duo.

1903: Furious when an old black ball is put into play when Cleveland is at bat in the last of the 11th and his objections are ignored by umpire Tom Connolly? Naps manager Nap Lajoie hurls the ball over the grandstand? suffering the loss of the game to Detroit by forfeit. Detroit was leading 6 - 5.

1914: Tris Speaker of the Boston Red Sox records an unassisted double play against the Detroit Tigers - his second of the season. Tiger runner Harry Heilmann is doubled off second base in the 4th inning when a hit-and-run play becomes a line drive to Speaker. Boston wins? 5 - 2. Speaker previously accomplished the feat against the Philadelphia Athletics on April 21st. This is a record for outfielders.

1920: Detroit Tigers pitcher Howard Ehmke wins the American League's shortest game ever when he defeats the New York Yankees 1 - 0, in one hour and thirteen minutes. With no outs and two on in the 5th inning? the Yanks fail to capitalize as Ping Bodie falls for the hidden ball trick applied by 2B Ralph Young.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FZpNjPlWQAIywoK?format=jpg&name=medium
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E8ICqk7X...png&name=small

1924: Babe Ruth has a pair of homers - his 37th and 38th - plus a triple and 2 walks? but it is not enough as the Yankees fall to Cleveland? 10 - 8. Joe Bush and Bob Shawkey do the bleeding.

1929: Rogers Hornsby cracks a 4th-inning homer - one of his 4 hits - as Chicago edges the Reds, 1 - 0, at Wrigley Field. Charlie Root allows 7 hits in beating rookie Benny Frey.

1943: Ty Cobb - born in 1886 - came to watch a 1943 baseball game between the Ford All-Stars and the Navy Great Lakes team, coached by fellow former Tiger Mickey Cochrane.

1945: The Detroit Tigers selected George Caster off waivers from the St. Louis Browns.

1945: A line drive of the bat of Hank Greenberg fractures the skull of pitcher Jim Wilson, resulting in two hours of surgery. Wilson will recover and pitch in the majors until 1958.

1948: In Cleveland? 73?484 fans watch the Indians and Yankees square off for 2 games. Trailing in the opener? an ailing Lou Boudreau hits a bases-loaded pinch single in the 7th to tie the game? and Satchel Paige wins it in relief? 8 - 6. Steve Gromek goes 7 innings in the nitecap to give the Indians a 2 - 1 win over rookie Bob Porterfield? making his major league debut.

1954: The Dodgers score a National League-record 13 runs in the 8th off Cincinnati in Ebbets Field to win, 20 - 7. Twelve of the runs are unearned and an NL-record 12 are tallied with two outs and no one on. Gil Hodges gets a triple and a home run in 3 at bats in the inning? while Clem Labine? who has a career .100 BA? walks twice. Jackie Robinson drives in 3 runs with a single as Duke Snider scores from first base. Roy Campanella? Jim Gilliam? and Don Hoak all homer for Brooklyn in the game to pin the loss on Karl Drews.

1954: The Yankees spot the host Tigers a four-run lead? tie it up? then watch as Detroit wins it, 10 - 8, in 10 innings. Mickey Mantle has one homer? off Billy Hoeft? and just misses on a titanic opposite field drive that curves foul before leaving the stadium. A 2-run walk-off home run by Jim Delsing.

1956: Mickey Mantle's opposite-field homer? off Camilo Pascual in the 1st inning, jump starts the Yankees to a 12 - 2 win over the Senators. Mantle is now 9 games ahead of Babe Ruth's 1927 pace.

1957: Club President Walter O'Malley offically announces that the Brooklyn Dodgers will play in Los Angeles in 1958.

1963: Tigers beat Red Sox 6-5 on Rocky Colavito's RBI single off Dick Radatz (12-4) in 10th.

1964: Tigers beat the A's 4 - 3 on Jake Wood's RBI single in the 13th inning.

1966: Tigers win 4 - 3 over the senators on a Willie Horton 2-run single in the 12th inning.

1968: Tigers rout Cleveland 13-1 for their 5th straight win. Denny McLain improves to 23-3. Called upon to pinch hit while eating a hot dog, Gates Brown stuffs it in his back pocket, then ruins it by sliding into second base.

1969: The Detroit Tigers traded Don McMahon to the San Francisco Giants for a player to be named later. The San Francisco Giants sent Cesar Gutierrez (September 2, 1969) to the Detroit Tigers to complete the trade.

1969: Tigers beat the white sox 7 - 3 on a home run by Willie Horton and a 2-run triple by Bill Freehan.

1990: Barry Sanders, Cecil Fielder, Steve Yzerman, and Joe Dumars.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E8JkNJNU...pg&name=medium

1991: The Detroit Tigers fan a team record 21 times in a 14-inning 4 - 0 win over the Blue Jays. Mark Salas hits a 3-run pinch homer off Tom Henke in the top of the 14th. Mickey Tettleton follows one out later with another homer. Starters Bill Gullickson and Tom Candiotti match zeroes for 7 innings.

2001: Tigers P Nate Cornejo makes his major league debut against Rangers P Joaquin Benoit. It is the first time since August 21? 1990? that both starting pitchers are making their big league debuts. The Tigers tie a modern record by scoring 13 runs in the 9th inning to snap a 6 - 6 tie and roll 19 - 6. Damion Easley gets 6 hits? including 2 in the 9th? to tie an American League and team record? last done by Ty Cobb. The winning pitcher is former Ranger Danny Patterson? who faces one batter in the 8th.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E7kQQoeX...png&name=small

2004: The Red Sox defeat the Tigers 11 - 9? despite 7 Detroit home runs. Tim Wakefield records the win for Boston despite tying a major league record by allowing 6 of the homers. Wakefield is the 6th modern pitcher to yield 6 round-trippers? but the first since Philadelphia's George Caster did so 64 years ago against the Red Sox. The last pitcher to give up 6 homers and still win the game was Brooklyn's Hollis Thurston in 1932.

2005: The Tigers defeat the Blue Jays 9 - 8? in 12 innings despite getting out hit 20 to 15. DH Rondell White, and RF Magglio Ordonez both have 2 rbi. SS Carlos Guillen hits a homerun. Tigers win on a Vance Wilson basers-loaded infield single in the 12th inning.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C5sEdBmX...jpg&name=small

2009: Albert Pujols is the first player in the majors to reach 100 RBI this year with a three-run double in St. Louis' 5 - 3 win over Pittsburgh. Pujols reaches the milestone for the 9th straight season. Only Hall of Famer Al Simmons has had a longer such streak, with 11 seasons of 100 or more RBI from the start of his career.

2013: Detroit wins its 12th straight game, 10 - 3 over Cleveland, completing a four-game sweep of its closest rivals in the AL Central. Max Scherzer improves to 17-1. The last pitcher to have such a mark was Roger Clemens in 2001, and only two others, Don Newcombe (1955) and Roy Face (1959), who both had records of 18-1 at one point, have done it since Rube Marquard started the 1912 season 19-0.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E7kSL7LW...pg&name=medium

2020: The Tigers start off their game against the Pirates with a roar, as Niko Goodrum, Miguel Cabrera, C.J. Cron and Jeimer Candelario all homer off Derek Holland before an out is recorded in the 1st inning, leading to five runs. There is a scary moment in the 6th, as RF Gregory Polanco and 1B Phillip Evans collide at full speed while going after a foul ball hit by Cabrera. Evans gets the worst of it and has to be evacuated from the field on a stretcher.

The Detroit Tigers have used 15 different starting pitchers this year.
That # is expected to increase as some current pitchers will reach their innings limits soon. Last year, the Tigers used 13 different pitchers, which is considered a high number in MLB.

Expect to see some of the multiple DFA'd pitchers recently signed to minor league contracts to come up to Detroit soon. That includes Daniel Norris who is once again back with Detroit after being DFA'd.

August 9 in Tigers and mlb history:

1905: Mistaking her husband for a burglar, the mother of minor league outfielder Ty Cobb shoots and kills him, an incident that will be cited as the reason for Cobb's intense desire to succeed. The "Georgia Peach" will make his major league debut with the Tigers later this month.

1916: The Philadelphia A's end their 20-game losing streak when Joe Bush beats the Tigers, 7 - 1.

1916: Philadelphia's Grover Alexander allows three hits in edging the Reds, 1 - 0.

1918: The Boston Red Sox purchased Jack Coffey from the Detroit Tigers.

1930: John Stone, Detroit OF, doubles in two runs in the 6th inning against Boston as the Tigers win 3 - 0. Stone has now hit in 23 straight games, but will go hitless in tomorrow's Sunday game at Fenway Park. Vic Sorrell tosses today's shutout.

1945: The Detroit Tigers purchased Jim Tobin from the Boston Braves for $15,000.

1945: Rudy York hits 2 home runs and Hank Greenberg hits 2 doubles in the Tigers' 11-5 win over the red sox.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FZkQzYWWIAErPvS?format=jpg&name=small

1960: Ted Williams blasts his 19th home run and 511th of his career, off Jim Perry, but the Red Sox lose to the Indians, 6 - 3. Ted's 5th-inning home run ties him with Mel Ott for 3rd on the all-time list.

1964: Phillies P Jim Bunning, who pitched a no-hitter in his last start against the Mets, throws another five innings of hitless ball against New York before Joe Christopher beats out a 2-out bunt. Bunning wins the game, 6 - 0.

1971: Despite belting six home runs - three by Bill Freehan, two by Willie Horton, one by Aurelio Rodriguez - at Fenway Park, the Tigers lose to the Red Sox, 12 - 11. The Sox have only one homer, a grand slam by Bob Montgomery. Rico Petrocelli's pinch single with two outs in the 9th drives home the winner.

1974: John Hiller walks 11 batters in one relief stint. No one can even tie Hiller?s achievement since 1948.

1976: Cal Hubbard, with his induction to the Hall of Fame as an umpire, becomes the first professional athlete to be elected into two Hall of Fames. In 1963 he was enshrined in the pro football's Hall of Fame.

1981: Major league baseball returns in a big way from its in-season strike as 72,086 fans attend the belated All-Star Game in Cleveland.

1987: In a 15 - 4 Tigers mauling of the Yankees, New York catcher Rick Cerone takes the mound. Again, he walks one batter and allows no runs, the second time in three weeks he's caught and pitched in the same game. Four Tigers players knock in 2 runs each for winning pitcher Dan Petry, DH Bill Madlock, SS Alan Trammell, RF Larry Herndon, PH Pat Sheridan. Add in homeruns from 1B Darrell Evans, C Matt Nokes, Trammell and Madlock Yankee pitching needed the relief.

1994: The Indians release Jack Morris, ending his career.

1999: Umpires Union chief Richie Phillips announces that he is considering seeking an injunction from the National Labor Relations Board to stop Major League Baseball from firing 22 umpires on September 2nd who recently submitted their resignations as part of negotiations ploy.

2001: The Giants score a 6 - 4 victory over the Reds in a game marked by a milestone home run. Ken Griffey, Jr. hits the 450th of his career, becoming the youngest player in history (by 15 days, over Jimmie Foxx) to reach that mark. He was also the youngest to hit 350 and 400.

2003: Former Tigers infielder Billy Rogell dies at age 98. He drove in 100 runs for the 1934 pennant winning Tigers. Every starter in that infield nicknamed "The Battalion of Death" had at least 96 RBIs, and a record total of 462 RBI's still a Major League record.

The Yankees had interest in the Tigers? Tarik Skubal prior to the deadline. Given how aggressively the Yankees were looking for pitching help, it isn?t surprising that they at least checked in on a talented and controllable arm like Skubal, who isn?t eligible for free agency until after the 2026 season.

Skubal ended up not being dealt anywhere, as while the Tigers were open to offers for ?just about everyone? in the wake of a massively disappointing season, it would?ve naturally taken a huge trade package to obtain a pitcher that still looks like a significant part of Detroit?s present and future.

As poorly as 2022 has gone for the Tigers, they aren?t likely to abandon their plans to contend and immediately re-enter another rebuild phase, especially not with a lot of money already committed to such players as Javier Baez and Eduardo Rodriguez.

Since Skubal?s strong performance has been one of the few bright spots of Detroit?s season, moving Skubal might be just about the last thing the Tigers would do, so the Yankees? pursuits might be limited to just monitoring the situation should plans change.
