Don't look now but the Detroit Tigers have deconstructed their team and the current result is the whitest team in Detroit in years. Most games the team starts:
C McCann
1B Hicks (Cabrera was suspended/injured)
2B Kinsler
3B Castellanos (now in RF, a rookie Latino playing there now)
LF Mikie Mahtook
CF Jacoby Jones
RF Alex Presley
Only Jose Iglasis, Miguel Cabrera, are regulars left over after the rebuild. A virtually all white pitching staff and bench have completely changed the complexion of the team. While the new guys are mostly unproven rookies, it does mean the Tigers are going to be much whiter in the future. The change in team philosophy is a departure with the strategy of ex GM Dave Dombrowsky (now in Boston), which was to sign the highest profile free agents available, typically latin or black. That strategy failed to bring a title and now management is going to try to build with young guys.
