Tigers Rookie Brennan Boesch's Start Compares Favorably With Albert Pujols'
Brennan Boesch had 22 extra-base hits in his first 36 games. Why is this noteworthy?Because with that number, the rookie put himself in some pretty exclusive company, including Albert Pujols, who posted the same number in his first 36 games.
No one is suggesting Boesch is comparable to Pujols. But the Tigers' outfielder from California is starting to make people notice. Tuesday night in the press box at U.S. Cellular Field, several scouts sat around a table discussing upcoming trips, players they had seen, players they were about to see, when Boesch's name came up.
