On the flip side, the Tigers will face some above average teams like the Yankees, Rangers, Twins and Mariners (at least their pitching is above average) - so it won't be an easy stretch. Thanks for coming by.

I still think they will need to acquire a bat at the deadline and the most marketable player they can part with is Zumaya. They would also have to include a couple of prospects and possibly Raburn or someone like that. You can check out my site and read some of my posts for my 2 cents on the Tigers.

But, what players are realistically available in trades that can play outfield with a decent on base percentage? Great analysis.

My own thought is we are in first lace only because everyone else has played worse than us. I'm an old time Tiger fan. My first year of watching was 1944. Used to live in the Detroit area but am in Iowa now. I'm frustrated because our local paper only carries box scores of the Cicago and St. Louis teams. Most of the info I get about the team is from the Tiger web site. Lately with all the inner division games, I've been able to watch several games. We desperately need a big bat, another front line starter and a more reliable closer I would like to see Heren from the D-backs. It would also be great to see some of the dead wood disposed of. Once again, nice job on your analysis. I think your conclusions are right on Nice job. My own thought is we are in first lace only because everyone else has played worse than us.
