Obviously his assessment is going to ruffle our “biased” feathers but I’d have to agree with him on a couple things. I don’t see a-cab repeating last years power surge. I doubt we see Grady for more than 80 games. Pomeranz plays in Coors while Ubaldo plays in the Jake. Hitters in the NL West are weaker than the AL Central, but I give a lot credit to what Ubaldo has accomplished in the past. A healthy Ubaldo> Pomeranz.

I’d like some feedback on these assessments:
1. Hafner–.290/25/90 y/n
2. Choo– .300/22/85/20 y/n
3. Kipnis– .270/16/75/15 y/n
4. Kotchman– .280/10/80 y/n
5. Brantley– .275/12/65/25 y/n
6. Lowe– 4.00/13 wins y/n
7. Duncan–.240/25/80 y/n

I’d say Y/Y/N/N/Y/Y

I do not see Detroit having a double digit lead at the halfway mark but we shall see…

the only “other” winning team… meaning, the Royals and the Tigers will have winning records.

He says “The only other winning team from that division is the Royals and it’s gonna be barely over .500″, then “The Tigers will be 10 clear of everyone by the break.”
Am I missing something?

Well they won the division by 15 last year so any upgrade at all doesnt bode well for the indians

I doubt the Tigers will be that dominant next year. People need to remember that Fielder is replacing Victor Martinez – the upgrade isn’t as significant as some people make it out to be.
