How do you think the Tigers will do this season?

Being a michigan native, I see them maybe finishing right around 0.500. Their pitching is very young still Bonderman (3 yrs), Maroth (4), Verlander (rookie), and their closer is injured. Their bullpen is weak too, with young talent again. I think their bats will definetely get them some wins however it has been proven you need pitching to win games, and champions think White Sox.

I believe they have a very good chance. They were dominating the first part of the season with some excellent pitching and offense and defense. And don't worry, everybody has a slump, they bounce right back and get into the flow of things. So, yes, I believe they will make it int othe playoffs.

the tigers are doing way better than they have for the past few years, they are showing some talent.

well it starts with a good gm which the lions lack. they lack a reason to play well.  they don't have any good players besides their kicker. they also can't play as a team to win any games. their coach is too soft on them.  the pistons play hard in the regular season and go pretty far in the playoffs.  they have a good coach who is not too soft on them.  the wings are near the end of being on top in the west.  they have a good owner who spends money on star players.  they do well in the regular season but have fallen in the last couple years in the early part of the playoffs.  the tigers got a coach who will push them to play better.  i won't say they are going to the world series or win the wild card but they improved and i think it's wonderful.  as far as the shock they are pretty good.   i am from the detroit area and love almost all of these teams but the lions.  i am not a fan of football but root for them when i can.

Six games in to the season ... it's too early to tell. Both teams have great potential, but the pitching is the key to it all. \n\nI think that the AL Central has become a four horse race with the Sox, Indians, Twins ... and the Tigers with an outside shot at it. The NL Central is more of a two team race between the Cards and Astros ... with the Cubbies having the outside peek at it. \n\nPut your money on the Sox because of the short term history ... but few of the pundits have picked either of them this year.

Actually they have a pretty good team this year with sheets, turnbow, and c lee.  I can see them making a run at it this year but the cards are way to strong.  I bet in the next 2 to three years the be in it.

The Tigers will not only make the World Series this year, they will sweep the Pirates in 4 games! Chris Shelton will win the regular season MVP finishing with 78 home runs and 129 runs batted in. Curtis Granderson will win the World Series MVP with 18 home runs and 19 steals in the 4 game sweep. GOOOOOOOO TIGERS!

I think the wild card is coming out of the Central this year.  The White Sox are too tough for the Tigers, but the Tigers will get in with the Wild Card because they are beating nearly everybody else that they play.  \n\nThe Red Sox will come out of the East, but it's not going to be easy.  I just don't think that the Yankees can hold on with a shaky pitching staff; however, if the Unit comes around, and they make a move for another good starter, they could come out of the East.\n\nThe West is the hardest to tell.  Right now, the A's look like they will come out of it.  The Rangers have a good team, but you can't outscore everybody, and their pitching is not good enough to hold on through the whole season.  The Angels have looked bad this year, but can make a run once they get clicking, but it will be too little, too late.\n\nAnd seriously, does the person above realize he/she picked three teams out of the East?

As a Royals fan, I am hoping and hoping that it doesn't happen but honestly I don't think it will because they usually manage to pick it up a little bit through interleague play and through the middle of the season.I think they will win at least 50 games this year.

the tigers have a good line up this year

I think they will do better than last season, but still lack at defense. I don't think they will make the playoffs. Next year will be better. The stadium is built and games will be played there this season and the spirit is not broken to all you haters.

The Indians will do awesome.  Think about who they have batting.  Sizemore, a great leadoff hitter.  Pronk, who will probably lead the league in homers and RBIs.  VMart, hands down the best catcher in the league.  And a few others who are showing their potential at the right time (Casey Blake, Ronnie Belliard, etc.).  Even Eduardo Perez (a former Tampa Bay-er) is getting into the act.\n\nTheir pitching staff, while not stellar, has enough to make it deep into the playoffs.  CC and Jake are good.  Jason Johnson has been good so far, and Wickman hasn't shown signs of faltering as their closer.  I think they are in a tough division though (who would have said this two years ago) but they should be able to overcome the Twins and either be a wild card team or AL Central winners.

I am encouraged that they are finally spending some money, and it can really only get better from where they have been the last couple years.\n\nI could certainly see them in the wild card race late, and you just never know - who would have expected the Tigers to be where they were lasr tear?

Anything is possible. They have a shot. Another team to look out for is the White Sox, last years World Series champions (It's like hell as a Cubs fan plus White Sox fans are super annoying without winning the World Series. I have to route for my home town, none the less). They average as a team batting .300 . That has to account for something. The Tigers are up now, but I predict the Sox getting their record back up. The funny thing is that the White Sox always lose to the worse teams (Cubs, D-Rays, Blue Jays).

Huge Wolverines fan so GO BLUE!!!\n\nGonna be a tight game this year, finally got rid of Hermann so hopefully the defense will come together better under the new defensive co. Hart is gonna have to be healthy when the game comes around. Henne is gonna have to make good decesions and some young wide outs are gonna have to step up. If this don't happen it will be a long season for my boys just like this year, but I still say Wolverines win the game!!!
