Tigers!

I am so excited about the Tigers this season. I have successfully suppressed my memories of the World Series and now can only recall the team that came out of nowhere to crush the Yankees and A's in the playoffs. Kenny Rogers is out for at least half a season, but they still have the best starting rotation and maybe the best bullpen in the majors (provided their young guns stay healthy). The bats will be better than ever with the addition of Gary Sheffield and getting Sean Casey for the whole season. Jayson Stark at ESPN is clearly a very smart man - he has picked the Tigers to win the World Series. TIGERS! (Sorry for that outburst). Read Stark's preview (and feel free to weep a little if you are a White Sox fan).
