Detroit Tigers Managers

by dsorek - 38 cards (Last updated on Dec 8, 2020)



1. 1993 Topps Traded #12T A.J. Hinch


2021-Present

Hinch was named manager within hours of the end of the 2020 World Series which completed his 1-year suspension after the sign stealing scandal in Houston. The team is at the end of their rebuild as he takes over and hopefully his success in developing talent will serve Detroit well for many years to come.


2. 1988 Topps #172 Lloyd McClendon


2020

2-6 Record

Lloyd had been a coach with Detroit for about a dozen years when he came with Jim Leyland in 2006. Lloyd finished the 2020 season in Detroit when Ron Gardenhire unexpectedly stepped down in the last month of the season of 2020.


3. 1982 Topps Traded #39T Ron Gardenhire


2018-2020

132-241 Record

He knew he had challenges when he started and was a good person to lead a rebuild. He inherited an overpaid team that lacked talent in key positions. He sadly stepped down with roughly 10 games left on the schedule in 2020 due to health reasons.


4. 1994 Topps #127 Brad Ausmus


2014-2017

314-332 Record

1 Playoff appearance where they were swept in the first round by Baltimore in 2014.

He inherited a very talented team, but he could not get them to gel or to perform beyond their salaries unfortunately. I think he will improve over time and he should've had some opportunity to coach before being a manager.


5. 1986 Topps Traded #66T Jim Leyland


2006-2013

700-597 Record

2 World Series appearances
Multiple Division Titles

I liked Jimmy 'Smokes'. I'm glad he's still a part of the club and I hope he's enjoying retirement.


6. 1978 Topps Burger King Detroit Tigers #15 Alan Trammell


2003-2005

186-300 Record

What a likable and knowledgeable guy. Too bad he was saddled with some less than stellar talent and he'll unfortunately be forever linked to the worst Tigers season ever with 119 losses in 2003.


7. 1979 Topps #139 Luis Pujols


2002

55-100 Record

He filled in after Phil Garner was fired in 2002 after a rotten start. They didn't get much better.


8. 1976 Topps #57 Phil Garner


2000-2002

145-185

I liked Phil and he ushered in the new Comerica Park in 2000. Just didn't have much success with the team during those years.


9. 1976 Topps #141 Larry Parrish


1998-1999

82-104 Record

Larry still is with the team in 2017 and has worked all through the Tigers minor league system. Very dedicated.


10. 1973 Topps #31 Buddy Bell


1996-1998

184-277 Record

Buddy had huge shoes to fill after Sparky stepped down.
