These are not players with two first names. These are players whose names would make more sense if they were switched.

8. Allen Craig
7. Brooks Conrad
6. Nyjer Morgan
5. Clete Thomas
4. Boone Logan
3. Tyson Ross
2. Darwin Barney
1. Clayton Richard

Apologies if you disagree, and I suspect Nyjer Morgan and Tyson Ross will be controversial selections. But obviously, this list is simply too important to entrust to a fan vote. 

Thank you for reading

plus (checking A.L. only):
Austin Jackson
Colby Lewis (it sounds backwards, but it needs to be Louis)
Leonys Martin
Xavier Avery

The Tigers have two players whose last name is an adjective if switched with the first name: Delmon Young and Duane Below.
