Baseball blogger Jim Turvey, who has contributed to DRays Bay, Beyond the Box Score, Baseball Prospectus Bronx, and many more, published his first book in November, Starting IX: A Franchise-by-Franchise Breakdown of Baseball's Best Players takes a look at the best players at each position for every team in baseball. He was kind enough to share an excerpt of the book with us, explaining why new Hall of Famer Alan Trammell is the best shortstop in Tigers’ history.
It should be noted the book was published before the Hall of Fame vote.
