I agree with you. You got to like the Tigers chances. Where we differ is on the Tigers chances to do what. . .

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Arbitrary endpoint alert, but it's been quite the ride after a very long wait:

AL best record, 2013-16:
Kansas City 331-276
Baltimore 329-277
Cleveland 327-277
Detroit 321-285
Toronto 319-288
Texas 318-291
NY 317-289

 

[broncosmitty]

On a side note, how the fuck do yall have nearly 11200 posts on this thread?

They cap the rest of us at 10K.

I call BS.

Shaggy is kinda lax.

Kinda pathetic considering how Detroit finished last season.

The AL West really needs to step it's game up.

Also if you consider how much more Detroit spent on players compared to KCR and CLE over those four seasons...

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

I also assume that Baltimore and Cleveland will overtake KC on that list by the end of the season.

Maybe not.

We'll see.

Interesting list, moose.

blame Billy Beane.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Only a moron thinks the Royals will be in the playoffs at this point. However, I'll trick myself into being a moron for another week or two just to get the season to September somehow.

 

[broncosmitty]

blame Billy Beane.

Or Jonah Hill.

Ilitich made money.

(I assume anyway. Over a billion in revenue during that time span. Bought the team for 82 mil, it's worth something like 1.2 Billion now.)

We could go back another year, so KC and Cleveland don't show up on the list.

 

[dougplayer]

If. If. If. Indians make play offs. They probably get swept in 1st series. Just saying

Ha. They all make money. Some just use it on the field more efficiently.

You guys NEED Papelbon.

The Red Sox are capable of blowing games while looking a lot less like douchebags, thank you very much.
