1. Hank Greenberg (1930, 1933-1946): Hall of Fame, 2x World Champ, 2x MVP, All-Star, 4x HR Champ, 4x RBI Champ, .313 career hitter, Pennant winning Grand Slam (1945), Would have hit over 500 HR had he not gone to war.
2. Norm Cash (1960-74): All-Star, 1968 World Champ, 1961 Batting Champ
3. Cecil Fielder (1990-96): All Star, 2x HR Champ, 3x RBI champ, Only Cecil and Babe Ruth led the league in RBI three straight years, 2x Silver Slugger
4. Rudy York (1934, 1937-1945): 1945 World Champ, All Star, 1943 HR and RBI Champ, Most HR in a month for non-steroid player (1937)
5. Darrell Evans (1984-1988): 1984 World Champ, 1985 HR Champ
6. Lu Blue (1921-27): 4x .300 hitter for Tigers
7. Miguel Cabrera (2008-present): 2008 HR Champ
8. Jason Thompson (1976-80): All Star
9. Tony Clark (1995-2001): All Star
10. Dave Bergman (1984-1992): 1984 World Champ
Quick note on Cabrera: He is in his third full season with Detroit. He will undoubtedly leapfrog Blue and Evans quickly and overtake York and Fielder by year 5. He'll have to be here awhile to catch Cash. It is an extreme longshot, but he does have a shot at Greenberg.
