[...] falling from grace, what a precipitous slide it’s been for Jacque Jones. This time last season, we were expecting him to be part of what was supposed to be a historic Tiger lineup. After 24 horrible games in Detroit, he was released. Jones would up in Florida by May, but was [...]

[...] this team supposed to score 1,000 runs this season? We sure expected the sticks to lead the way for this club. However, the Tigers are dead last in the AL in BA, runs, slugging and OPS. Perhaps it will be [...]

True enough, but Reyes will sure help you in runs, and it’s reasonable to assume his BA will bounce back a bit. Also, he has decent pop for a SS.

I’m not fully soured on Reyes, but I was thinking after the draft that other than the steals he really doesn’t bring as much fantasy value in any category as Wright or Cabrera.

One thing’s for sure – I’ll be kicking myself if Cabrera does challenge for the triple crown,

PS- if Willis burns one time through the AL like it was 2005 I’ll be a very happy guy.

The bullpen depth concerns me, as does the potential fragility of the rotation.

Yes, Willis is a major X-factor. You’ve got to figure switching leagues will stead him well at least the first time through, but after that, it will take some legitimate improvements to maintain any gains he experiences.

Hard to go wrong with Reyes, even though so many seem to have soured on him for whatever reason.

There’s a few real x-factors in there, but the Tigers have the potential to be scary good this year – maybe even challenging the Red Sox for the AL lead.

Will Willis rebound from the last few years of declining performance, or will the AL hitting eat him alive? I’ll know soon – he was a late rounds “what the hell” pick for my fantasy team.

Man did I want Cabrera, but I opted for Reyes in the first round. In retrospect I’m wishing I had taken Cabrera or Wright.
