I hope so but i wonder coming back off a MCL surgery how good will Victor be or how much he will have left in the tank.. His knees are pretty gimpy.. I really believe the Prince signing is insurance if VM cannot comeback... But oh man the line scores if he does.

Tigers 13 runs/17 hits/4 errors.
Twins 4 runs/9hits/1error..

LOL.. Notice the errors that don't matter.

I just posted this in another thread, but using what we've got with VMart in there, this is a 5.248-5.578 run per game lineup. That equates to 850-903 runs this season. To put that into perspective, this would be between 13th and 5th all-time for Tigers offenses.

That was using career averages too. I tend to think those might have a little bit of a negative skew since our two biggest hitters are coming into their prime, and most of the rest of the lineup is still young too. Now, the defense is another story, but we ought to score some runs!

Can't forget the improving power from Ajax and Brennan Boesch improving.

Don't get too ahead of yourselves. I remember when a few years ago we were suppose to score 1000 runs.

I agree 100%, but I'm more comfortable with the track record and age of this group than that one. Not saying anything is a sure bet, but I'm more confident about Fielder and Cabrera producing or out producing their career numbers.

Delmon Young is going to have a lot of chances to drive in some runs batting behind these 2 guys.

Tigers teams have never cracked 1K runs scored, but they have cracked 1K in runs against once in '96 with 1103...(ugh!!) which even the infamous 43-119 '03 team somehow avoided, but they still came pretty close to 1K with 928, which is tied with the '29 team for second worst all-time.

270lbs (Miggy) and 275lbs (Prince) =545lbs combined, which I believe is very probably 25-30lbs less than both together actually weigh, so the Tigers' beefy brace of bashers quite likely weigh ONLY ~100 pounds less than the entire '84 Tigers' championship infield had...lol!!

Prince Fielder, Miguel Cabrera weigh only 130 pounds less than entire

I'm not worried about these two but worried about AJ, Raburn, DY, if Peralta continues to play well, if Avila can keep it up, if BB can keep it up and who's playing 2B besides Santiago.
