Detroit Tigers Team Notes Over 3 Million Views!!! Thankyou!

Justin Verlander will post at least 15 wins. The 32-year-old pitcher will reclaim his role as the Tigers' resident ace after a frustrating 2015 season that began with him on the disabled list.
After some early hiccups, Verlander re-emerged with a strong second half that portends well for his 2016 campaign. The right-hander seemed to regain consistency, command and confidence on the mound -- one of the few positive developments amid an otherwise tumultuous season rife with disappointment.
Overall, his fastball velocity has dipped in the past two seasons, but he has proved he can still reach back deep into games and hit the mid-to-high 90s. With a high-octane offense that should provide plenty of run support, look for the former Cy Young winner to at least triple the amount of wins (5) he recorded last season.

Let's hope so, we are going to need it. I think he will bounce back.

Detroit Tigers discussing trade with the Colorado Rockies.

The Tigers have also been in contact with the Rockies regarding their outfielders, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. No deal between the two sides is close, however, and it?s unclear which of Blackmon, Dickerson or Gonzalez intrigues Detroit the most at this juncture.

January 13 in Tigers and mlb history:

1958: New York Senator Kenneth Keating proposes a ban within 100-mile radius on telecasts into minor league territories.

1972 - Former umpire, now housewife, Bernice Gera wins her lawsuit against Organized Baseball, initiated on March 15, 1971. Gera is slated to umpire in the New York-Pennsylvania League starting in June. She will umpire just one game, making her point before deciding to call it quits.

1982 - Hank Aaron and Frank Robinson win election to the Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility. Aaron established a major league record with 755 home runs, while Robinson led the Baltimore Orioles to two World Championships and was named Most Valuable Player in both the American and National Leagues.
Aaron falls nine votes shy of becoming the first-ever unanimous selection, and his 97.8 election percentage is second only to Ty Cobb's 98.2 percent in the inaugural 1936 election. Robinson was also the first African-American manager in major league history.

2005: Under the watchful eye of national lawmakers, Major League Baseball and the Players' Association agree in principle on a stricter steroid testing policy. The new program will randomly test players year-round, with first-time offenders suspended for 10 days and a fourth violation resulting in a one year ban for the offending player. The punishments will later be increased significantly.
