8. Alan Trammell, SS, 63.7 fWAR
What would this lineup be without Tram? He's the best shortstop in franchise history, a huge part of the 1984 team, and is still in the organization today. He was the World Series MVP in 1984. He's a Tigers legend.
His best season came in 1987, which was the last year the Tigers made the playoffs until 2006, and the last year they won a division title until 2011. He hit .343 with 28 home runs, a career high in both categories, and put up a 7.7 WAR. He was the AL MVP runner-up to George Bell.
Tram was a six-time All-Star, four-time Gold Glove winner, and three-time Silver Slugger. He and Sweet Lou formed one of the most iconic middle infield duos of all-time.
Tram is still in the organization today as a special assistant to the GM. He's done a lot of work with Tigers infielders. It should be no shock to see him in this lineup.
