Detroit will be a world series team, at best. You'll see the power filled, deadly lineup will last very long...

Fixed.

A World Series team at best? Ok Lebron James. Let's actually play the season first before we start crowning champions.

If the Tigers go to the World Series, you have to say the "Tigers are who you thought they were, crown their ass"

All this bickering is stupid, because you all know the World Series champion will be the Angels. :P

Smiley is noted, but don't.

We don't need any of that.

World Series team "at best" isn't actually saying anything. Many teams, at their "best", are World Series teams.

If they were a World Series team "at worst", then we'd have some actual yak going on here.

Even the Pittsburgh Pirates are a world series team at best haha

If you think Fielder is a downgrade at 1st, you've never seen him play. He's actually a very mobile player. Don't let the size fool you. Moving Cabrera to third is questionable, but still it's not like Inge is Mike Schmidt or even Ron Cey. Yes, Fielder does upgrade offensively, but offensively they still don't have a good lead off hitter. And yes, they have more than Verlander and Valverde. Scherzer, Porcello, and Fister were quality pitchers. IF Detroit didn't have any pitchers besides Verlander and Valverde, why did they finish ahead of Cleveland in just about every pitching category and why did they end up with more wins than Cleveland. Someone explain that to me. Oh yeah, that's right, because Cleveland fan is frustrated that his team has NO pitching whatsoever!

People think by acquiring 1 or 2 free agents it automatically makes a team a contender. It just doesn't work, in any sport! Ask the Eagles, Redsox, Heat, Knicks, and Clippers. By adding Fielder they did the same thing as the Angels, risked a ton of money on a position that already had a solid starter in place. Detroit had Cabrera, so why sign Fielder? People completely ignore the fact that they have no pitching outside of Verlander and Valverde, and places of dire need at shortstop, catcher and the outfield.

Except that the Tigers won the division last year and nobody else in the Central has done anything to improve.

Yes, crowning champions before the actual season starts always works out perfectly.

EDIT: Just saw BigBubba's post, so this joke has already been made.

Whatever, I'm leaving this up.

A large improvement in clubhouse attitude alone. Also, it is much more likely Adam Dunn and Alex Rios hit closer to at least their previous career lows than reproduce their 2011 (Dunn's OPS was 250 below and Rios' was 78 points below their previous career lows). I'm not saying the Sox are going to win the division, but not having someone put up the worst statistical season of all time (along with a manager playing him every day to spite the GM) will go a long way.

If the Rays can get a solid hitter in a trade like Eric Hosmer, Andrew McCutchen, or both, we could challenge the Angels or Tigers for the pennant.

LOL someone is desperately delusional.

Yeah, the Tigers don't stand a chance against the Halos :P

In all seriousness, the AL's not even close to a 2-team race, and I don't think McCutchen or Hosmer will be traded.
