DETROIT -- Omar Vizquel was on his way out of the clubhouse when someone informed the Tigers' infield coach that he has a pretty good shortstop. Vizquel, one of the greatest defensive shortstops of his generation, and others, joked about Jose Iglesias learning tricks from him.
Not even Vizquel might be able to teach Iglesias tricks like Monday.
"That's probably the best play we've seen from him all season," manager Brad Ausmus said of Iglesias' sixth-inning throw from the hole across his body to retire the speedy Brett Gardner, during the Tigers' 2-1 win over the Yankees.
