1912/13 George Moriarty photo help

Any idea who the Detroit player in the background is?

Looks like Bobby Veach.

Edit: in the foreground

hard to tell. Looks like it came out of a scrapbook that was done between 1913-1915 so it almost certainly is 1913. Another factor that this may not be Burkett is that (assuming they are correct) Baseball reference lists Moriarty as 6 ft and Burkett at 5'8. The man is this pic looks to be possible an inch taller?

There was a coach for the Tigers in 1914 and 1915, named Jimmy Burke. Could be him?

Im thinking this guy is probably older. Burke would have been about 40 during that time

The uniform worn by the Detroit player has a collar that matches the light color of the uniform shirt. This matches the Detroit uniform worn in 1912 and 1913 (and perhaps in spring training of 1914). Prior to 1912, the collar was dark, and beginning in 1914, the uniform was essentially collar-less (or had a "cadet-style" collar).
