The Detroit Tigers’ 2014 starting pitching rotation featured four — count ‘em, four — Cy Young winning pitchers. Justin Verlander won the Cy Young and the Most Valuable Player Awards in 2011. David Price edged out Verlander in the 2012 Cy Young race. Max Scherzer won it in 2013, and Rick Porcello would go on to win it in 2016 with the Boston Red Sox (with Verlander finishing second again). Then, there was Anibal Sanchez, the 2013 American League ERA champion, just going to work in the shadows of the superstars, getting the job done.
