One of the best handful of hitters I’ve ever seen. And a much better defensive player than ever given credit for. Especially at first. Mostly at first. Anyway..

Better base runner than people who didn’t watch him play everyday will ever realize. You know what I’m sayin. He was one aggressive dude on the base paths.

Really thought we’d see more prime Miggy and Prince back to back. Good times while they happened for sure.

Crazy thing with Prince is he was the most durable guy in the game. In 8 seasons he missed 13 games. And then it went to shit

Garcia started putting it to his old lady.

And his Venezuelan goon friend was the one who did something about it.

Poon destroyed a would be dynasty.

And Prince got paid for years to do nothing about it.

Really don’t mean to be harsh. But it was pussy that changed the stars for a few careers with this

What?

So this was Prince's woman?

I wondered why they traded Garcia for nothing

I expected a lot more resistance in this thread to his spot in HOF, then none. Pretty cool.

I don't know what there is to resist other than character issues maybe? And there's worse in the HOF anyway. He looks like an obvious HOFer whether you guy by traditional statistics or advanced statistics. Miggy was clearly one of the best players in the league for at least twelve seasons (2005-16, could maybe include 2004). I don't think he'll be an unanimous HOFer, but I think there's a pretty good chance he'll get at least 90% on his first year.

He's never been linked to PEDs and at least one player with inferior numbers that almost certainly juiced that did get in. I have no problem with him going in first ballot.

I get that you can blame her for breaking up the band, but Prince started breaking down physically almost immediately after being traded, while Kinsler stayed pretty durable, right?
Prince no longer played for the Tigers when he broke down. Detroit was still
paying him though.

He was robbed in 2013 by Chris Davis HGH'd up season. So a trip crown in 2012 and first in avg, 2nd in home runs and rbi in 2013
His 2012 triple crown season didn't get nearly the recognition it deserved IMO. First TC since Yaz in 1967 and hardly anyone seemed to care.

Why does that matter? It certainly didn't keep Ilitch from spending whatever was necessary towards the end of his life. I wish tightwad Carl Pohlad would have thought like Mike did before he died.

Prince got paid by the Tigers long after Mr. I went to the big pizzeria in the sky.
