Detroit Tigers: Jordan Zimmermann bounce-back is vital for franchise’s long-term outlook

Detroit Tigers fans haven’t seen the best out of Jordan Zimmermann in his time in the Motor City.

Save for a 10-start stretch to begin his Tigers career that saw the veteran turn in a 2.58 ERA in 66.1 innings (which included a 19.1 frame scoreless streak), Zimmermann has struggled mightily.

In two seasons in a Detroit uniform, the right-hander has thrown 105.1 and 160 innings respectively in each of the last two years.

His overall numbers haven’t exactly been easy on the eyes.

Jordan Zimmermann 2016: 105.1 innings, 1.3 fWAR, 5.64 strikeouts per nine innings, a 7.
