2018 Clubhouse: Detroit Tigers

#46. Miguel Cabrera

#47. Nicholas Castellanos

#48. Michael Fulmer

#49. José Iglesias

#50. James McCann

What to say about the Tigers? The fact that they're on pace to just barely eek past 62 wins and that you could reasonably call that exceeding expectations speaks volumes about their roster (and the league at large). Outside of Miggy (who's been hurt for most of the season), there's not a lot of hobby stalwarts on the club. Castellanos has had a slightly better year than last year and is probably the silverest of linings here.

Cabrera HAD to be an autograph subject here. It would be extra cruel to leave him out.

The red parallels aren't the prettiest with the Tigers' orange and navy. But the #5/5 is and eBay 1/1 at least!

2017 SPIRIT BOX BREAK - PACK 18

189. Jake Marisnick

86. Hector Neris

150. Joe Kelly

248. Eddie Rosario

26. Juan Lagares

97. Andrelton Simmons

231. Trea Turner

285. Nick Castellanos

253. Gabriel Ynoa (RC)

G266. Jose De Leon (RC)

OTR2. Mookie Betts - On the Rise (AUTO)

Hit #2 here and it’s a good one. After Mookie’s breakout 2016, he’s quickly climbing the ranks of hobby favorites. Elsewhere in the pack, the De Leon gold is one I debated on replacing since he got traded to the Rays. But since Logan Forsythe has already made an appearance here, I figured it’d make most sense just to keep them with their “original” teams. That means any more trades in the next week or so will not be reflected in the rest of the box break.

2014 Spirit Base: 331-340

#331 - Wade Miley
I wonder if adding the word "nude" to the description here will get me any more page hits...

#332 - Justin Upton
I wonder if adding the word "leak" to the description here will get me any more page hits...

#333 - Nelson Cruz
Ya know, I'm happy for Nelly that he was able to avoid the Rangers' shitshow this year and is poised to do well with the Orioles in the playoffs. He deserves better than being remembered as the goat of the 2011 World Series.

#334 - Jon Lester
I guess I should've paid more attention to the offseason trade forecasts and stuck Lester in Series 1. Though, if I wasn't so late getting around to Series 2, having him here in a Red Sox uniform wouldn't look so bad.

#335 - Nate Schierholtz
After his 2013 season, it looked like Nate was finally turning the corner after getting out of the Bochy Zone. Then he posted an OPS+ of 49 this season before the Cubs cut him loose. Now he's on the Nationals' bench, battling for a spot on their post-season roster. Good luck, Nate.

#336 - Marcus Semien
Having his ups and downs this season. It'll be interesting to see where he fits on the White Sox roster next year.

#337 - Mat Latos
Can't decide if he looks more like Billy from Family Circus or Black Francis. He's about as endearing as both, either way.

#338 - David Murphy
Again, happy for Murph that he escaped Arlington this year. Too bad the Indians probably won't be making the playoffs, though.

#339 - Jordan Lyles
Lyles has actually been decent this season, making the Dexter Fowler trade look a little less bonkers.

#340 - Nick Castellanos
Nobody expected him to be Miggy at the plate. But nobody expected him to be Miggy in the field, either.
