A.L. Central Discussion 2016

Think iffy doesn't factor in HEART . a wolverines have it. Tigers have it. .2 seconds is when you show HEART. this not the Fab 5. But they have HEART.

It should have never come down to 0.2 seconds. Indiana laid an egg. They didn't show up to play. But I'll give this to UoM -- they out-hustled the Hoosiers, big time.

 

[TrustMeIamRight]

Tell us iffy. How choke boy Izzo is a genius. .Michigan will brush little brother to the side. If they get that far. Better have wolverines deep in your brackets this year

Man. I missed reading Dougie's posts. This one gave me a good laugh.

You get what you can from a catcher as they don't have the longest lifespan... unless of course they roid like pudge. Yan Gomes best years are behind him... Knee issues for a catcher aren't a good thing...

1 full season, lol

I don't know how many times I have to tell you this iffy... I have the Indians winning it because I don't trust the health of the Tigers.. but if the Tigers stay healthy... they are a better team.

A great offense and average pitching staff makes a better team than an average offense and a great pitching staff?

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Which Verlander will we see?

The "razor sharp" one, apparently. Razor sharp. . .

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

One other thing that I was just talking about with a buddy today. How disgusting will the Yankees bullpen be once Chapman is back? They will have 3 of the filthiest bullpen arms, so will be playong 6 inning games each night.

They've got a long history of putting together nasty bullpens, but you're not wrong, this one is just stinky.

Lol at the Indians having an average offense. You have 6 guys that will be in your lineup that are bums. Your entire outfield is going to suck ass hole until brantley gets there... Then only two will suck out of three. Seriously. The Indians offense is gross.

 

[MiamiVice]

You gotta love someone looking at mike napoli as a legit player... He is better at the plate than yan gomes! Lol

6 fucking bums and 1 guy that had less that a full season of at bats that could easily regress... Yeah!

 

[MiamiVice]

Rajai Davis is going to carry the load for Cleveland the first month while Brantley is out... Don't worry guys! Lol

 

[MiamiVice]

Carlos Santana! Wow there is a DH people wish they had on their team!.

 

[MiamiVice]

Seriously... Can you even say the three guys the Indians have playing the outfield to start the season are average with a straight face?

Sounds like you are trying to cover your ass. Pick the Tribe for first...but then rip them apart. You got yourself covered no matter what Cleveland does. Probably should have done that with the Royals the last couple of years. Might have helped your credibility a little. (BTW....you did not respond to my mentioning of no ''gross'' offensive team ever winning the AL Central....yet you one picked for first.)

Well, their offense was just under league average last year and by most rational accounts, they look like they'll be improved in 2016.

They've got as good, if not better, of a shot to have an average offense as the Tigers have of having an average pitching staff.

The Indians may even have a better shot of having a great pitching staff than the Tigers have of having a great offense.
