He has spent his entire career with the Tigers from 2005 to the present. Among his many accomplishments is the rare double-double in 2011 of the MVP and Cy Young Award. He was also the Rookie of the Year, led the American League in K's 4 times, pitched in 6 All-Star games and thrown two no hitters.
In many ways, last year was his most impressive year. After several years of injuries, he had a comeback last year with a 16-9 record and a 3.04 ERA, finishing second in the AL Cy Young Award voting to former teammate Rick Porcello.
Of course, many would say his greatest accomplishment is his engagement and pending marriage to Super-Model, Kate Upton.
All these accomplishments make him the idea choice for the prestigious Baseball Quote of the Day honor.
"He's pretty incredible. He's throwing 100 mph in the 8th inning. That's impressive."

"With Verlander, you can't have a plan."
