For two seasons now, Ian Kinsler has been every bit as valuable to the Detroit Tigers as Miguel Cabrera. I don't think anyone saw that coming. In the process, Kinsler has become a huge fan favorite for the intensity and intelligence he brings to the field. He feels like a Tiger. For many fans, he is their Tiger. It seems crazy to ask for more, but Kinsler is bringing it anyway.
We’re over 60 games into the 2016 season and Kinsler hasn’t just been the Tigers MVP; he could be thought of as a candidate for the American League MVP Award.
