Comments on: The Tigers Organizational Family Tree http://www.detroittigersweblog.com/2006/08/the-tigers-organizational-family-tree/ News, views, and analysis on the Detroit Tigers and baseball Sat, 22 Nov 2008 07:50:16 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Kevin http://www.detroittigersweblog.com/2006/08/the-tigers-organizational-family-tree/#comment-9842 Kevin Tue, 15 Aug 2006 02:17:04 +0000 http://www.detroittigersweblog.com/2006/08/the-tigers-organizational-family-tree/#comment-9842 A couple thoughts... No player on the team today is connected to the '84 team. Not even Juan Berenguer or Ruppert Jones produced some token relief pitcher today. The farthest we can go back is to the 1990 season with Rich Rowland. Also, those amazing 11-man trades that were made at least twice a year during the Randy Smith administration with the Astros and Padres which always seem to involve Brad Ausmus and CJ Nitkowski only appears to have played part in obtaining one player on the roster. Another interesting study would be to see how a team, such as the 1984 Tigers were constructed, then deconstructed. A couple thoughts…

I got the same e-mail from Geoff about the San Diego tree. I was too lazy to do it myself but I was hoping somebody would do this for the Tigers. It seemed like the sort of thing that was right up your alley but I wasn't sure how much time you had. Good job Billfer. I got the same e-mail from Geoff about the San Diego tree.

I had to laugh when I saw Rich Rowland and Buddy Groom. I half-hoped to see Masao Kita too. Very interesting. I had to laugh when I saw Rich Rowland and Buddy Groom.
