2017 AL CENTRAL DISCUSSION

[Howie115]

Saving my predictions, as I always do, for last week of Spring Training. I was dead-on with my 86-win prediction for the Tigers last season, though they did not play all 162. The biggest keys, IMO:

(1) Good health for the starters, particularly Zimmermann and Norris, who both missed a ton of time last season. (Also see broncosmitty's note on the 2016 thread about needing 400+ innings out of Fulmer, Norris and Boyd.)

(2) A couple of guys in the bullpen to step up ... namely, Justin Wilson and Bruce Rondon. Not thrilled when I see the same crappy crew as last year, so a few will have to out-perform expectations.

(3) Center field DEFENSE. The Tigers order 1-7 is very good. The CF probably bats 8th or 9th, so offense isn't critical. But we need above-average D.

Overall, the Tigers need good luck with players' health, mainly because the second-tier players are marginal and there is still no organizational depth.

She's got incredible tits and a cute face. You can see the fat girl inside her waiting to be let out, though. I could see her pulling a Kirstie Ally one of these year.

Takes a big man to please a big girl...if you know what I mean.
We used to play a game. Called piggin. Group of guys all throw in $100 go down in ohio. Guy that nailed the biggest ohio girl won the jack pot

That's cool.

We never went to Michigan. Nothing but fags up there.

I heard a story a about a group of Ohio girls who use to throw in $100 and see who could nail a Michigan guy with the smallest dick. About what years were you playin' YOUR game doug????

(1) I think we need about 500 Innings (167 per pitcher)

(2) Lowe can't do worse (can he?). Joe Jimenez could be a factor and one more good years from K-Rod

(3) We need someone to cover a lot of ground out in CF at Comerica.

Good Post!!

Must be tough to live in the present, when your college football team gets ass-beaten every year by OSU, your pro football team hasn't sniffed a championship since 1957, your baseball team has been pushed to second (or lower) - first by KC and then by Cleveland....and now your hockey team is going to open a new arena as one of the worst teams in the NHL

You've met Doug, right?

Big Ohio State fan if I'm thinking of the same guy.

 

[ChiSoxFan]

Roar.

It looks like she's walking into a very powerful fan.

 

[ChiSoxFan]

Player development, or some such.

He'll teach the prospects how to be on the DL 24/7/365.

 

[VikingFan2k2]

Yep. One of the more ridiculous nut jobs ever. I thought he was a bit at first, but nobody is that committed to a bit. He really is that crazy.

 

[ChiSoxFan]

How soon will tigers own the central??

You are just light in your loafers over Bayer win over arsenal. That's sorta like woman's basketball. Played by men. On grass

 

[dougplayer]

I like you homers. Given predictions. Even before spring trainning even starts. You never really know how a team moxie will be till there head north for the season

It looks like a fat dude is wearing a Kristie Alley suit.

Yet you know of the result.

ChiSox makes a damn good point, @dougplayer, you soft tosser. I wouldn't have even know that Bayern was a soccer team until you started talking about it because I'm not gay.
