Looks like we get to play "small ball"!

But but but...we will finally be able to steal bases!

They just have to get on base, no problem!

Last years offense was good but I think this team will better all around. Prince doing his belly flop in the ALCS was a good symbol of last seasons lumbering, plodding team mentality.

Looking at these numbers and what the Tigers plan/mission was this offseason, they seem to have put the cart in front of the horse. Getting faster on the bases ie. stealing them and running them...taking the extra base is of course good, but they have to have players that can get on base at better rates than what they had outside of the 2/3/few and now. Anything less than .340/.350 is imo leaving alot to be desired.

Gone.
Infante OBP .345
Peralta obp .358

Tigers FO looking like they are going to construct a team that includes heavy reliance upon a shitload of ifs, buts, and maybes. The '14 Tigers may (or more likely will) have no depth anywhere..SP, BP, bench, IF. or OF...yikes!!! This does not even take into account potential regression by ~half of their starters, nor possible injury or injuries to key players. The Royals, Twins, Tribe, and to a lesser degree the White Sox have taken steps to make improvements to their rosters so far, while it looks like the Tigers have made a few marginal, if not questionable moves to shore up areas of weakness, in no small part by taking away from their sole area of strength and surplus.

Of course it is still early in the off-season, but the Tigers have so far have given every indication that they will not be involved in bidding on what still remains of the FA market, while they have little if any valuable or desirable chips left available to trade during the ongoing winter meetings, without creating a hole or holes in the field or on the mound.

That bottom of the order is a bit scary. Top too ..

 

[biggunsbob]

OH well I was fun while it lasted... I just wish we had nabbed a title or two like we should have...

 

[tigermud]

Window is closed, not looking forward to a lineup half full of sub .250 bats...not very opptistic about 2014 at all, wouldn't be surprised if we finish 3rd behind Cleveland and KC

 

[spockmaster]

my reaction to our likely 2014 offense: *bangs head on desk repeatedly*


what good is team speed if noone can fucking get on base?

 

[mbradley]

they just will be standing on 2b when the inning ends rather than 1b.

Offense who needs offense with the starting pitching the Tigers have. Win them 1-0.

that didnt work out so well in the ALCS. plus, the starting pitching is likely to not be as good. scherzer is almost certainly going to regress, and smyly is a downgrade from fister unless he surprises us all. that and the fact that our bullpen aside from nathan and maaaaybe rondon is abysmal, and we might not be having a fun year at all.

 

[Mitchrapp]

At least we'll get a protective pick, eh?

Teams have 75% of their wins by scoring at least league average runs. In this case, 5 runs or more. When neither team scores 4 runs or more, then a team wins 50%. Good bullpens and better offense/bench is the deciding factor. Wait DET has neither. So while DET will win a few 1-0 games, so will other teams against DET.

 

[Rebbiv]

Inquiring minds want to know.
