Tomorrow officially marks the start of a new year in baseball. The first game will be the New York Yankees vs the Boston Red Soxs. The pitchers will be C.C. Sabathia, who was 19-9 and 2nd in Cy Young voting, up against Josh Beckett, who can sling it with the best of them. The game starts at 8:00pm on ESPN. This game with either be an offensive explosion, a pitchers duel, or a blowout. That is normally what all Yankees vs Soxs games are. I have a feeling that this game will not disappoint.
As for our Tigers. They open up there season in Kansas City. It will be Justin Verlander who was 19-9 #1 in the league in strikeouts and 3rd in era. He will be toeing the rubber against Zack Grienke. Who is the current Cy Young winner and can really bring it.
This year I can see the Tigers winning the division only if we have a healthy season and Magglio can go back to his 2006 ways of hitting. I really love the youth we brought to are team. I feel this boost of youth will give the Tigers speed and the ability to start playing small ball and not always depend homeruns. The White Soxs are the biggest threat to the Tigers this year. Then the Twins. Those teams have pitching especially the White Soxs. They will have the once Cy Young winner Jake Peavy all year. Mark Burhle, and Gavin Floyd as there 1,2,3 pitchers. That is a pretty strong 1-3. The Twins lost the Tiger killer Joe Nathan so that will help but they have the other Tiger killer Carl Pavano. Plus Mauer and Morneau, that will help any team win.
As for the Royals and Indians. The Indians in three years will be a threat mark my words. They have young talent like no other. The Royals, just to many inconsistencies on there team. No one to help Grienke, and they just traded away Mark Thean.
I see the magic number in the central in gonna be 90 games. First one to 90 wins takes the division. Lets just hope the Tigers start fast and don't waste a 7 game lead again. I can't wait for my MLB TV haha
As always LETS GO TIGERS!!!! Lets have a good season boys!
