You have to see Tigers pitcher Alfredo Simon’s flashy chrome car

You’ve already enjoyed Kansas City Royals shortstop Alcides Escobar’s gold SUV, the first of our ridiculously pimped-out MLB rides this spring. Well, Alfredo Simon, the new Detroit Tigers pitcher, sees Escobar’s gold SUV and raises him a chrome Mercedes.

Here it is, via Chris Iott of MLive.com:

It figures that Escobar and Simon will face each other a few times this year, since they both play in the AL Central. Perhaps they should wager paint jobs on the results. Loser goes tan.
