Who Is This Year's Detroit Tigers?
Posted: Sun Jan 14, 2007 7:33 am
Okay, each week I'll ask a baseball question that hopefully spurs some thoughts and debates. I'm interested in everyone's views:
Last year the Detroit Tigers came out of nowhere to win the AL title and reach the World Series. NOBODY saw that one coming as the Tigers were in the same division as the defending World Series champion Chicago White Sox and a Cleveland Indians team that almost made it into the playoffs in 2005, plus a young and coming Minnesota Twins team. The Tigers really didn't add any big free agent signees last off-season, but their youngsters came around and their pitching was phenomenal.
So, with that in mind, who is this year's Detroit Tigers? Which team in the parity-filled MLB (I don't really believe that, it's just fun to say!) could come out of nowhere to win it all?
Thoughts?
