Greetings all. This thread will give us an opportunity to review the Tigers lineup as we aee it before the world returns to us March 31. We now 9 positions are set(the lineup) and that Leyland wants to carry 10 pitchers. That leaves a 5 man bench: I've chosen Inge, Rayburn, Thames, Santiago and Perez, (if wilson isnt ready.)
The key to this season is twofold: Health and Inge. Personally, I believe we should trade him, so that shef will be distraction enough.
So, here we go. The 2008 Tigers Player profile...
TODAY: CF-CURTIS GRANDERSON
The Official Site of The Detroit Tigers: Team: Player Information
AS HARD AS IT is to believe, Granderson is baseball's most exciting YET most underated player in baseball. He had a season last year that was only achieved by 4 players EVER! EVER! I said EVER!!!!! So there is no way he can duplicate that year. But i expect HIM to be consistent and clutch. He is the ultimate leadoff hitter and last year made the best paly a Tiger centerfielder has ever made (CLICK ON GRANDERSON PLAY OF 2007). If he hits .300 and cuts down his strikeouts to under 100, there is no way he wont be an MVP candidate again. There is no way, Sizemore is better than our guy.
Prediction: AVG: .309 HR: 25 RBI:69 2B: 44 3B: 15 SB: 33
