I still give the edge to boston on pitching though esp now that you got rid of jurjjens.

wow ur a yankees fan... sry for ur luck! the tigers will be the best team in the mlb for a couple of years and all of are pitchers are young except kenny and nate we have a decent bullpenn but are starters are amazing and we blow bosten out of the water in the pitching catogory.

I think u should look up some research pal...

Detriot may have gotten D-Train,but could I remind u of how many wins he has gotten last year?

And exactly how many pitchers from Detroit have 15 games won this season?...1...now lets compare that to Boston...3,dude...even Cleveland has a better rotation.

just informing u and just check ur facts before u say something...

hey dude, you want some stats, here's some stats...

On paper, Detroit had an overall better offense than Boston. Detroit: Runs= 887, HR=177, RBI= 857, BA=.287.. Boston? R=867, HR=166, RBI=829, BA=.279.
For pitching, Detroit: 4.57 ERA, 45 Saves, .266 opposing BA. Boston: 3.87 ERA, 44 S, .247 BA.

I have all the respect in the world for Boston and their pitching, but with the exception of Beckett (and at times Dice-K) their rotation wasn't all that spectacular. Dice-K won 5 games where he gave up at least 4 runs (one had 7ER) and got a ND on 2 (Another w/ 7ER). You could just say he's getting used to MLB hitters, but I think the hitter will be more used to him. And Wakefield's year was great but there's no way he OR Schilling will have a great year. It was timely hitting that kept bailing them out.

Verlander is sick, Willis has a whole new group of hitters that'll need to get used to his wind -up, Rogers can get the job done, and it's up to Robertson and Bonderman to be solid. And I doubt Carmona will have another career year, so that leaves Sabathia as the only real threat with Byrd and Westbrook being decent and whoever they can get to fill the 5th hole.

Not to mention with all that rediculous production and protection in the line-up, add in Miguel Cabrera and they could easily outscore both NY and Boston next year.

Detroit also plays in a more competitive division. Say what you like about the East but with the exception of the Yankees, it's not what it used to be.

And to answer your question, Willis had 10 wins and 15 losses on a team that had 25 less wins than Boston, 790 R, 749 RBI, and .267 BA. Enough stats?

alright proved ur point,lol.

This should make things interesting for the season though.Don't get me wrong. I love Detroit.

I'd like to see Detriot and the Sox go way in the playoffs this season. Mainly a pitcher's battle between Beckett and Willis.

Also, ur right about Willis being on a crappy offensive team. But with Cabrera tagging along with him to Detroit,they might make a great team all together.

o yeah, and dont call me stupid, all I'm doing is showing my opinion. Don't bag on me because of the way I think. Not like I would ever do that to anyone else.

ok ok i shouldent have called u stupid even though being a yankees fan is pretty messed up. but anyways the pitching battle will be between verlander and beckett not d-train and i give the edge to verlander in the regular season but in the playoffs there is no one better than beckett.

I love the Cubs, but why oh why do they keep resigning Kerry Wood? Same thing every year, Kerry pitches at the start of the season, gets hurt, then he's out. I don't think he has really helped them out in a few years.

idk dude i totally agree with the whole wood situation but when he pitches he is good... somewhat. but i think they should have got rid of him a few years ago when he was still valuable. of corse it is easy for me to say that now. lol. but it doesent matter if the cubs couldent do anything last year the shure as hell wont do anything this year.
