Detroit Tigazzzzz: WAR - What is it good for? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING - Single-Team Season Threads -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

After purchasing opening day tickets I thought a thread needed to be started.

Things I'm hoping for this year:
Something better than last place
GREEAR not turning SE against the Tigers (or tigazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz as KKcountry would say)
Dontrelle Willis throwing strikes
Never seeing Brandon Inge again

plz come true
More Rod Allen silliness than ever
and
92 wins and the AL Central crown..

Tiger faithful, discuss

It's moments like this that are the reason I love Rod Allen.

I have a really good feeling about this season. I really hope neither Dontrelle or Robertson make the team, although I guess I could settle with using Robertson out of the pen.

Miguel Cabrera will win the AL MVP (like he should of last year)
43HRs 151RBIs .326Avg

Yes folks, that will be good enough for the triple crown.

Rick Porcello has a decent chance of making the opening day roster with everyone competing for our 5th spot blowing up. It'd be nice to see both him and Ryan Perry make the opening day roster. It would be just like 06 when we kept Verlander/Zumaya.

obv were winning the world series.

So its pretty clear were just gonna have to do without a lefty starter this year unless there ******ed and give the 5th spot to Robertson just because hes such a "bulldogggg" and has a pretty terribad contract.

Didn't know Zack Miner become a LFP in the off-season. Thats pretty sick.

But Zack Miner sucks but Id deffff rather have him then either of those other 2 scrubs. Its clearly Rick Porcellos time to shine though.

Bonderman is getting his shoulder looked at or whatever, did anyone hear what was up with that? If he isn't ready for the start of the season they both could be in the rotation.

I don't think they're going to be in any great hurry to bring Porcello north. He's still very young, short on high minors experience and (most importantly) no reason to start the clock on his service time when you've got money committed to Dontrelle and Nate.

Don't get me wrong I think he's got a great future, I just don't think he'll get the call before the end of the season unless there's an injury wipeout of the rotation.

From what I've heard, Porcello probably won't be up with the Tigers all year. The talent is quite obviously there, but he has a ways to go in terms of becoming a true MLB pitcher. Has anyone heard reports to the contrary? What makes us think he's going to be on the Opening Day roster? No need to push him too hard, imo.

Any chance you guys can think of a less visually annoying thread title than this?

I think there just really in a tough spot in regard to that because of how bad robertson/willis suck. Add that to the fact that Bondos shoulder might not be ready yet and id say theres atleast some chance he makes the opening day roster.

Not a shot in hell both of them make our roster. D-Train would probably be a below avg pitcher at class A ball right now.
