2007

Coste ranks right up there with the Tigers as one of the feel-good stories of 2006. Undrafted out of college, Coste spent four years in the Northern League and didn`t play his first game in the minors until age 27. He`s bounced around constantly since then, both from team to team and around the field (he`s played everywhere but center field). He`s done whatever it took to keep playing baseball, including writing a book about his long minor league odyssey; a second tome is on its way. At the risk of spoiling the fairy tale, Coste has never been nearly as a good a hitter in the minors as he was for Philadelphia last year, and cannot be expected to repeat his performance.
