  • By David Raglin Brad Ausmus
    Vol. 29, No. 11 Tigers Fans Who Always Care December 2013 BRAD AUSMUS IS THE TIGERS’ CHOICE – By David Raglin Brad Ausmus, the Tigers’ choice to replace Jim Leyland as manager after Leyland retired, may have been somewhat of a surprise, but Tigers fans should be familiar with him from his two stints as a catcher for the team in the late 1990s/early 2000s. The Tigers interviewed four men for the job. One was Leyland’s longtime hitting coach, Lloyd McClendon. He was the only one who was with the 2013 Tigers and the only one with managerial experience, with the 2001-05 Pittsburgh Pirates. Two other candidates had minor league managerial experience, major league coaching experience, and ties to Dave Dombrowski. Tim Wallach had been a player with the Montreal Expos when Dombrowski was general manager, and is the third base coach for the Dodgers. Rich Renteria played for Dombrowski’s Florida Marlins and was a Padres coach before recently being named manager of the Chicago Cubs. (They also approached Hall of Fame shortstop Barry Larkin, who played for the Reds and for the University of Michigan, but he turned down the chance to interview. They had an unnamed candidate in mind but never asked permission to talk to him.) Ausmus has no minor league or major league field experience as a coach or manager and Dombrowski said they had previously met only briefly. So, why is Brad Ausmus it? He won the job because he came with many good references and wowed Dombrowski and the Tigers during his interview.

    The Worst Hitters in Baseball History by Fred Worth Department of Mathematics, Computer Science and Statistics Abstract In this paper we are going to look at several metrics for determining the worst hitter in major league baseball history. Introduction Books have been written trying to determine who have been the best hitters in baseball history. In this paper, we are going to consider the opposite end of the baseball talent spectrum. We are going to look at the worst hitters in baseball history. But first, a disclaimer. Disclaimer There have been some people who have played major league baseball who had no business doing so. Eddie Gaedel, for instance, had no business wearing a major league uniform. In the early years of major league ball, teams often did not have very large rosters. Sometimes on a road trip they would even leave some of their players home. Then, if a player was hurt, they would be short-handed. To fix that, they might ask the crowd, "who wants to play?" They might get someone who can play. But sometimes they got someone who had no business walking on a baseball field. In more recent years, however, if a man makes it to the major leagues, he is NOT a bad hitter. Such things are relative. He may be the worst hitter in the league but the league is made up of the best baseball players in the world. So, with the exception of Gaedel, and maybe one or two other flukes, when I say "worst hitters," I realize I am describing men who are far better than I ever was.
