Geez.... Rob Deer. That is a name I haven't heard in awhile! Oh, how I hated to see him come up to bat with runners in scoring position when he was with the Tigers, he was as close to an automatic rally killer as you could find. Eventually, they dumped him on the Red Sox and I think he ended his career with the Padres. I also believe that Sparky ended up batting him in the number 8 slot due to his inability to figure out what a "strike zone" was.
Another former Tiger, Darrel Evans, also hit for low average/high HR one year too- might have been 1986 but I'm not sure. He also walked a great deal which is something Rob Deer didn't do!
