Porcello was the most pleasant SP surprise of the preseason, given ST's relative "insignificance", with perhaps Sanchez' being the most disappointing. Also Don Kelly's making the team based on his surprising, if not shocking production, rather than just winning a spot on the roster b/c of his alleged versatility, and his being the polished "apple" of Leyland's eye...

So that now being outta the way, go fetch Jimmy's Marlboros and his lighter Donnie!!

"NL Comeback Player: 3 picked Victor Martinez"

uhh...whaat?? :hmm:

Is the overall hype for the Tigers to win it all this year more or less than in '08?

Not many if any are predicting this team to score 1000 runs AFAIK, perhaps they actually have a somewhat better chance to actually do so, but I am not gonna post that the would or could, and jinx this '13 Tigers team.

If the Tigers are ~65-30 by the ASB, (the '06 Tigers were 64-31 after 95 GP) then absent any unforseen injuries to their key players, this team could very well supercede the franchise win total of the '84 team, and win north of 105 games...(albeit likely less than 110) but I am definitely sticking with my (our) earlier poll prediction of 93 however.


I think that it is almost impossible that the Tigers could feature 4-20 game winners in the postseason, ala the '71 Orioles, but perhaps 3 is really not completely out of the question, since the Tigers actually do have at least 4 out of their 5 SPs who very well could have career or near-career seasons (Verly), (although Sanchez' last couple of outings aren't/weren't exactly reassuring, ST or not) and also a 6th available to spot-start who is not too shabby himself in Smyly.

Yankees @ #13 are NOT better that the Cards @ #14, or likely even the Diamondbacks @ #16. They might be better than the Phillies @ #15, but that is only if Roy Halladay is indeed washed up. They might also be better than the Orioles @ #10 b/c they still have to prove that '12 was not a fluke. The Orioles had a very good preseason, so can't point out their ST record, however "non-indicative" that ST is of the upcoming regular season.
