I enjoyed that one quite a bit. Don't fall in love with the Tigers though.

I also enjoyed the article.

Will there be a pitchers version later?

Good article.I agree the three Tigers could turnout quite nicely this season.I'm not in love with them but the potential for solid seasons is definitely there.

Its amazing how far and quickly the Tigers have come in a couple of years. If they could have signed a veteran pitcher or two this offseason, they would be in a better position to compete this season.

If Bonderman,Robertson,and Maroth all improve as most suggest they will,the Tigers are 10-15 games better than last year.I think getting rid of Sanchez and the new commitment Illitch is making in Detroit,could see a trade in the near future for a veteran pitcher.

dont count out Ledezma, he might be destined for the bullpen but he has some good stuff and could prove valuable for the Tigers

Well I'm thinking he is headed for long-relief and have heard some talk about that on Detroit TV as well.They have a few prospects especially in OF that other teams may want in exchange for a veteran pitcher too.

Id keep Curtis Granderson if I was them though.

He may be sent down but would also be the first guy called backup I think.

Bonderman has everything lined up to break out this year. Anyone see his like last 8 starts? He turned into a K Machine! Anyone else remember when he 1 hit the Yanks and struck out 10+??
