The Tigers will never out-Yankee the Yankees. The Tigers need to follow Marc Shapiro's blueprint in Cleveland. |
Almost every team has a contract that nobody else wants. Tigers also have lots of youngsters on the team who are coming from the minor league system - Granderson, Robertson, Verlander, Rayburn, Inge, Infante, Santiago, Maybin, Rodney, Zumaya, De La Cruz, and Miller. But the team needs some veteran presence. Most of the guys that were brought in are producing - Polanco, Ordonez, Guillen. Sheffield got injured and Tigers got him for a prospect that missed the entire year with injury. So I would not spell all doom and gloom. I think the team will be alright.
