Tigers Card Tuesday- Keider Montero
Tigers RHP Keider Montero makes his debut on Tigers Card Tuesday!
Montero has been filling on the rotation spot for the injured Justin Verlander.
Keider is 3-5 this year, but his ERA is 3.68, and he has won 2 of his kast 3 starts.
Absolutely love this edition of Topps Chrome Platinum, I got most of the base cards from the same guy that I talk with about the Living Set cards.
Hope all of you fabulous bloggers are

"...its just another McGonigle Monday."
Balloting for the 2026 All-Star Game in Philadelphia is underway.
Tigers rookie Kevin McGonigle is 3rd in ASG Voting so far.
He won't catch Bobby Witt, but its nice to see him in 3rd place.
Hopefully Tigers fans will keep getting those 5 votes in every day.
Have a great week, and, remember, get those votes in for your favorite players.
