Mark Whicker: Here come the Tigers on rivalry weekend, with Javy Baez coming back
“A rising tide lifts all boats, including the rusted careers which lie at the bottom of Lake Michigan.
Look at the lineup card of the Detroit Tigers this weekend at Rogers Centre -- rivalry weekend going back to 1987 -- and you’re likely to see Javier Baez playing centre field and hitting ninth.
That would have been inconceivable in 2016, when he helped drive the Cubs to a World Series title, or in 2018, when he led the National League with 111 RBIs and was second in MVP voting. It would be like Lady Gaga playing the Rodeway Inn lounge in Farmington Hills.”
