Good lineup on paper ... VMart back and Hunter instead of Young.

Tell me about it. They actually upgraded themselves.
Despite losing speed, Hunter a much better fielder than Young. |

This surprises me. Detroit has good, young, cheap internal options.

Young, cheap internal options fail probably north of 90% of the time. Good teams that want to win don't rely on them to perform.

It's a good move for Detroit -- just surprising to me since they still need to allocate resources to their rotation and bullpen. |

I think Hunter vs Young is more or less a wash at the plate. Plus Hunter has less power. He only hit .313 last year because he was hitting in between Trout and Pujols. But I will still be concerned when he plays against us as always.

Not 'crowning' anyone but ANY rotation that starts with Verlander and Scherzer isn't exactly chopped liver is it? Lip |

I'm sure hitting somewhere in the middle of Cabrera, Fielder and Victor Martinez is a major step backward in that respect.

Austin Jackson is a nice player, but he isn't Mike Trout. He certainly isn't the threat on the bases Trout is. |

If Detroit is better next season, I think it will be because Martinez comes back and plays at pre-injury levels. Whether he does that is anybody's guess. I'm sorry, I just don't think this signing is a game-changer in this division. |

As for Victor Martinez, a 34 year old DH/1B after missing a season, is also far from a sure thing. WSI is sounding a lot like the winter of '07 and '08 again.
