Detroit, on paper, looks pretty good. They wouldn't win the AL East, but by the AL Central's crappy standards, they will be tough, and I don't think we'll have a wild card in this division.
Whoever starts the 2013 thread, whether its me or someone else, probably should have a picture of the Detroit "D" in a gun cross-hair.

Defense is still terrible, although adding Torii to a corner OF spot helps. They probably lose Delmon Young, but they get Victor Martinez back, so that's a net add. Verlander/Scherzer/Fister is nice, but if they get Anibal back....yikes. A bit suspect at the back of their pen....we'll see what they do there. But a lineup of Austin Jackson/Torii/Miggy/Prince/Martinez/Peralta and beyond is scary.
We need somebody (Rangers ?) to sign Sanchez so the Tigers don't get him. Badly.
