I’m pretty skeptical about the Tigers chances. SO much depends on (apologies to William Carlos Williams) a lot players exceeding projections when the likelihood is they won’t. On offense, only Miggy and Granderson have realistic chances to improve (and you could argue that Miggy is so good, there’s not really room for improvement). Inge, Maggs, Polanco, Sheff, Everett, Guillen–they not on the upswings of their careers and injuries are a certainty. I’m more hopeful about their starters, esp. with better infield defense with Everett and Inge at 3B fulltime. Bonderman and Verlander seem to have a pretty good chance of improving a LOT on last year and even if Galaragga slides a bit, he’s a good fifth starter. Even Adam Everett’s glove doesn’t give me hope for Nate “Balls-in-play” Robertson. His 08 was a horror show. The pen rests on the arms of three guys (Lyon, Zumaya, Rodney) that have as much history of injury and wildness as they do lights-out, shut-the-door relief pitching. I’ll watch every game hoping they prove me wrong but I’m not optimistic.

Was Magnum “P.I.” really that drunk he A) Couldn’t identify Trammel and Whitaker in the first place or B) couldn’t put together that they were at least players after they hit him with the tickets? That was a strong ass riddle they threw at him though.

@Rudy Gamble: I said in that post I wasn't drafting Ichiro because he's always overrated. So I just pulled out a Clairol hair dryer and blew it right back in your direction.
