Arise and shine! BEGINNING NEXT YEAR THE TIGERS WILL BE JUST
ABOUT UNBEATABLE! WHY? They will have the best starting rotation
in MLB. Led by future HALL-OF-FAME Justin Verlander they will have
a settled down Max Scherzer throwing bullets past opposing hitters
and Rick Porcello once more sinkering hitters to death. Wnenever a
team can trot out three power pitchers on a regular basis they are on
their way to huge winning seasons….now I hear someone asking:”how
about starters 4&5 ?” Folks please remember the name OLIVER! He will
be #4 power pitcher for the staff…bet the farm on it!
Now for #5….take your pick between GALLARAGA & BONDERMAN. Please
tell us your choice below with your comment. I personally lean toward
Armanda. With the millions that Mike Ilitch will save from those sinful
contracts of robertson, willis, bonderman and ordonez adding up to about
FORTY ONE MILLION. Look for Mr. Ilitch and Dave Dombrowski to launch an
unbelievable monster of a free agent blockbuster. How about those apples?
Just remember this is the same writer who picked the TIGERS to win the
2006 AL PENNANT. I remember how lonely I was out on that limb. Will
history repeat itself? AW YES, HISTORY WILL TELL US THE ANSWER.
So long for now…supper is on the table.
