The Tigers are coming around on the suited time, and permit me remind you of the Indians finished soften down interior the final week of the season 2 years in the past. activity a million : Tigers 5-3. Rogers throws a gem, Tigers bullpen makes it thrilling. activity 2 : Tigers 7-2. One be conscious: Verlander. activity 3 : Tigers 4-a million. Indians run help does in Sabathia as quickly as extra. Indians branch lead decrease to a million a million/2

Verlander

Future aces- toss up
When zoom zoom gets back mrp and su
Jones
Pudge
Garko
Polanco
Inge
Guillen
Granderson
Ordonez
Monroe
Sheffield
I dont care for Perez but the rest of Detroits bench is good
Detroit
When Kenny, Nate and Zoom Zoom comes back 100% and we send Fernando down to AAA or trade him we will have the best starting 5 in all of baseball, we already have the best starting lineup so I think Detroit will have a flawless second half and finish with close to 95 wins and take the AL to go on and defeat the Mets in the World Series.
Maggs will finish with a .355 average with 35 HR and 128 RBI to go on to win the AL MVP.
Sheffield will end up with about 42 HR
Jeremy Bonderman is 6-0 and if he keeps up and finishes strong he could end up possibly 16-2 or maybe even 17-2 to win the Cy Young award.
It's looking good in the D as long as this all happens, but no doubt Cleveland has a good team and it's going to be tough all year just as it was last year when Minnesota was on our tail!

I am a Tigers fan, 34 years and running. I would have to give the edge, right now, to the Indians. They seem to have our number early in this season. Rodney is killing us right now out of the pen, and Zumaya being hurt isnt helping any. I'm very excited about A. Miller, and his potential. I'm just not sure if he can help us right now, this season. The teams are very evenly matched on paper. But, as it stands now, I think the Indians have the mental edge. The fact that they are a bit younger overall may come into play late in the season. Especially if we get K. Rogers back at full strength.

INDIANS ALL THE WAY!
Dont even tell me somebody chose the Tigers! I cant stand it when people put the Tigers above the Indians in the power rankings or stuff. The Tribe OWN the Tigers! The Indians went 5-2 against the Tigers a few weeks ago, the Tigers can never beat any decent playing Divison Rivals. The Indians are going to the World Series buddy.
GO TRIBE!

Actually they are very even this year. I would give the edge in overall pitching to Detroit. As far as fielding I would give the Indians the edge, Sizemore is the best player overall.

pitching- tigers
batting- push
bench- indians
overall- tigers (but if the indians win the wild card and they face each other in the playoffs then the indains will win, the tigers are 2-5 vs. them this season)
