It’s June 1 and the Detroit Tigers have had a lot of surprising performances so far this season. Young players like Nicholas Castellanos, Joe Jimenez and Matthew Boyd have looked excellent. Each of them are vying for their first career All-Star appearance.
The veterans have not fared as well this season, with Miguel Cabrera, Francisco Liriano, Leonys Martin and Jordan Zimmermann all spending some time on the disabled list. Many of these guys are approaching career milestones, which we previewed before the season.
