“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.”

“Among the trophies Fernando Tatis Jr. was supposed to be cramming into his attic by now was not the one for Comeback of the Year.
Not long ago he was hitting baseballs out of sight, 42 of them in 2021. Then he disappeared, too. It doesn’t take long for today’s sensation to become tomorrow’s footnote.
