When looking back at Tigers history, certain standout individual seasons immediately come to mind: Miguel Cabrera’s Triple Crown in 2012, Justin Verlander’s MVP campaign in 2011, or Magglio Ordonez’s batting title in 2007.
While these are players Tigers fans know and love and "expected" high levels of production, there is one season that stands out for being unexpected — that being Damion Easley's 1998, which netted him the AL Silver Slugger award at second base.
Baseball is funny in this way as it, at times, produces these types of unexpected outbursts from players you wouldn't expect given their career arcs or prior seasons.
