you are the only one that keeps bringing it up.. you and slinky... da55bums doesn't even do it anymore because of how humiliated he is. That guy hasn't posted here since I outed him for living with his parents... probably offed himself.

How many WS titles does Cabrera have?

1 more than Thome.

Tiger gains, July 2015-present (players likely to be at the MLB level):

STARTERS --
Jordan Zimmermann, Daniel Norris, Matt Boyd, Mike Pelfrey

RELIEVERS --
Francisco Rodriguez, Mark Lowe, Justin Wilson

CATCHERS --
Jarrod Saltalamacchia

INFIELDERS --
Mike Aviles

OUTFIELDERS --
Justin Upton, Cameron Maybin

Tiger Losses July 2015-present:

STARTERS --
David Price, Alfredo Simon, Kyle Lobstein

RELIEVERS --
Al Albuquerque, Joakim Soria, Ian Krol, Tom Gorzelanny, Neftali Feliz

CATCHERS --
Alex Avila

OUTFIELDERS --
Yoenis Cespedes, Rajai Davis

Lots of addition by subtraction in the players they lost. I wouldn't want any of the pitchers not named Price back, except maybe Soria as a setup guy. And if we get full or nearly-full seasons from Cabrera, V-mart and Verlander, the 2016 Tigers look a hell of a lot better than 2015.

you can get your ass handed to you on a internet chat site? Crazy. I would like to see that.

 

[Iffster]

Sad that Vice does not even comprehend that he isn't the first to create an Internet life. Totally self absorbed, I suppose.

@SlinkyRedfoot Whats wrong... don't want to talk about WS titles that miggy has over Thome?

The funny part is the Indians fan that came on here talking about this after the Indians had possibly the worst offseason of any AL Central team. At least the Twins have young talent to call up and lean on. The Indians signed two 35 year olds.... lol.. you want to talk about a team that didn't do shit last year not doing enough... You might want to start in Cleveland.

I am still trying to figure out why you talk more about my supposed "internet life" than you do about baseball on this site.

I don't know....basically, it is add Zimmerman and Upton for Price and Cespedes. Tigers did add Maybin, but he isn't a ton better than Tigers expected Gose or Davis to be. Bullpen looks better, just with Nathan being gone. But it is still a question mark. I'd say Detroit's 2016 version is better - only if key players are healthy

LOL... Seriously.. do you think I would even be able to make it to a mirror before I stopped giving a fuck about what you clowns post here?

Tell me again, which team did you pick to win the central?

Um.. No...

The Tigers have 9 new players on the 25 man roster. They have 3 new relievers to form a completely rebuilt bullpen. They have way more pitching depth. Health is going to dictate what happens.. clearly.. but to say its basically zimmerman for price and upton for cespedes is not true in the slightest. The bullpen was the biggest issue last year.. and it is completely rebuilt.

 

[Iffster]

Howie....don't forget....a lot of fans were excited over the addition (and early results) of Simons and Greene. There was great expectations for the 2015 club. Many fans predicted an easy AL Central win over a weak division.

 

[MiamiVice]

Indians... But that can change as the season progresses and I feel more comfortable with the health of the Tigers.

 

[Iffster]

LMAO

Vice - you are priceless!!!!!!
