Through May 16, 2021, AJ Hinch and Miguel Cabrera have combined for 3,092 hits in the majors. One of them MIGHT have contributed more to that total than the other.
Detroit Tigers fans are familiar with the musings of Sparky Anderson and what he said about the first 40 games for any baseball team. It is an indication of where you are heading as a team. The first 40 marks off the first quarter of MLB where we have seen injuries all over the board affect various teams and several batting averages in the .150 range.
Granted, the expectations for Detroit to be a playoff team is rather far-fetched but fans have expected better.
