Paul Moehringer publishes his all-time Tigers team. It’s an impressive squad, with Ty Cobb as the team’s best hitter. Interestingly, when Meohringer creates the lineup for the team, Cobb is at the top of the order.
In his day, Cobb was a middle of the order hitter. He slugged .512 for his career, but his isolated power was a bit low due to his .366 career BA. During the best years of his career, power consisted of doubles and triples and Cobb hit both of those frequently, combining for 1019 of the shorter long hits.
In today’s game, and on a super team, Cobb’s .433 OBP, his speed, his ability to put himself in scoring position with doubles, triples, and steals would make him the perfect table setter.
