good read.

Defense is a weakness for Tigers.
I loved the Tigers, you loved the Tigers, we all loved the Tigers.
But the team has one major flaw, and rival scouts and executives were talking about it as far back as spring training.
Defense.
True, the Tigers have performed below expectations offensively, ranking only seventh in the American League in runs per game.
That figures to change, and rival executives say that the Tigers? front office is unfazed by the team?s sluggish performance thus far, and not contemplating trades.
The Tigers, at 23-24, are only one game behind their 47-game pace of a year ago, when they reached the American League Championship Series. One good month, and the team likely will control the AL Central again.
Still, that defense . . .
Entering the weekend, the Tigers had converted 71 percent of their groundballs into outs ? the worst rate in the majors, according to Bloomberg Sports. The Yankees were next-to-last at 72.5 percent. The Blue Jays were first at 83.1 percent.
Want to know why Tigers right-handers Rick Porcello and Max Scherzer had been so inconsistent? The numbers tell part of the story.
Opponents had a .326 batting average on balls in play against Porcello, a .403 BABIP against Scherzer. The AL average is .284.
Porcello, a groundball pitcher, figures to be affected more than Scherzer by poor infield defense long-term. The Tigers? two best defenders, center fielder Austin Jackson and left fielder Andy Dirks, are outfielders. The team is below-average at every infield position.
The Tigers still have super-human right-hander Justin Verlander, and still figure to slug their way to the AL Central title. But they?ve put together a poor defensive club at a time when most teams are increasing their emphasis on that aspect of the game.
Tough way to win the World Series.
