I hope you're right, sam
I really have great expectations for our Tigers, too. Ordonez probably won't be able to duplicate his high batting average of last season, but I think the additions to the lineup might enable him to hit more home runs because it won't be so easy to pitch around him. Granderson, if he learns to be more patient and selective at the plate, could have another similar season. I also agree with your evaluations of Robertson and Bonderman. Nate has been a hard luck pitcher every season, save one. And I think Jeremy has the potential to become one of the AL's dominant pitchers. Now if Verlander can continue to pitch at the same high level, if Rogers can squeeze out one more solid season, and if Willis can return to the form that made him an All Star -- that's a lot of ifs, but I'm ever hopeful for my Tigers.

I believe the Tigers will score at least 1,000 and hit at least 200 homeruns because these guys do the little things that make great teams. I think Mags and Curtis will have equally good seasons. I think Curtis can go back to back on the 20, 20, 20 ,20 and be the first player to do so. The kid starts running from the time the ball is hit until someone tells him to stop. I think the pitching isn't as suspect as everyone thinks. Nate hasn't had any run support since he has been in Detroit and I look for this to be a breakout year for Jeremy as well. sam
