Tigers have a decent selection of borderline guys
Whitaker Lolich Darrell Evans Kirk Gibson Bill Freehan Harvey Kuenn Bill Madlock (he bounced around so much I don't know what team you'd say he belongs to) Bobby Veach Tommy Bridges Norm Cash Lance Parrish Virgil Trucks Cecil Fielder George Mullin Rocky Colavito Rudy York Hooks Dauss Willie Horton Chet Lemon (actually one of the highest WAR's on this list) Only a couple of these guys merit super serious consideration but there's an awful lot of them who measure up to the lower end of the Hall.

Appropriate that the mention of Whitaker came after talk of HOF 2nd Basemen. Honestly it's hard to argue Whitaker is "borderline"...the fact that he's not in the Hall of Fame is downright bewildering.

There are a lot of borderline pitchers with Lolich, Mullin, Trucks and Dauss. I would add Dizzy Trout. Trout had one of the best pitching seasons ever in 1944 when he led the League in ERA (2.12) and Shutouts (7) and put up almost 50 bWAR for his career. Whitaker definitely belongs. Norm Cash was a 5x All Star, and Tommy Bridges a 6x All Star. Both put up over 50 bWAR. Darrell Evans had 414 HRs and almost 60 bWAR. Bill Freehan was an 11x All Star. A really great list. I think Detroit might have just as many borderline guys as they Yankees.

Speaking of borderline Tigers, Jack Morris.
