With all due respect to Max Scherzer who is likely headed for a huge payday in the next few months,  I'm of the opinion that Anibal Sanchez is the best pitcher on the Tigers.  Sanchez had a 2.57 ERA last season and currently has a 2.15 ERA this season.   His Innings to hit ratio in both seasons has been off the charts.  

 

Even with a stint on the D.L. last season and a stint on the D.L. this season,   overall Sanchez has easily performed like a top 10 pitcher since the start of the 2013 season.   The other night is an example of why Sanchez doesn't get enough recognition.   Sanchez pitched 7 scoreless innings against a high quality Blue Jays Offense,  in what became an eventual loss to no fault of Sanchez.   He doesn't get the run support that the team's other starters usually get.   Hence,  the win total doesn't reflect how good of a pitcher Sanchez has been for the Tigers.
