Why there is no interest in Jermaine Dye
Jermaine Dye was an outstanding player, but it's not a coincidence the Tigers and other teams have shown no interest in signing him.
In 212 at bats the second half of last season, he hit .179 with six home runs and 26 RBI. His slugging percentage was .297. For an idea of how bad that is, it's considerably lower than the career slugging percentages of Nook Logan (.318), Jim Price (.341) and Jeff Larish (.394).
In 212 at bats this season, much-maligned Tigers' catcher Gerald Laird has hit .182 with three home runs and 16 RBI.
Also, Dye is 36 years old and hasn't played baseball this season.
