The Detroit Tigers are looking good this spring. Austin Jackson and Scott Sizemore have already done better than anyone could have expected. Dontrelle Willis looks like he's back to his old form. Brandon Inge has come back from his knee surgeries in a big way, and so many more things. This year, the Tigers will have a great shot at winning the AL Central because their division foe, Minnesota, lost their clutch closer Joe Nathan. Nathan, in his career against the Tigers, is 30 for 30 in saves opportunities. It's a good thing for the Tigers that he is out for an entire season. Although I do give Nathan my best wishes for a "save" recovery. If the Tigers can still beat the Twins, the Central is theirs. There is not really a chance for the other teams. Cleveland is rebuilding, the White Sox lost a lot of players, and the Royals are just... the Royals. With Justin Verlander, Rick Porcello, Max Scherzer, Jeremy Bonderman, and Dontrelle Willis in the starting rotation, and a very strong bullpen, the Tigers look to be in a great position heading into the 2010 season. Plus, they have great hitters with power and speed. Miguel Cabrera thinks he will win the MVP, and I wouldn't be surprised if that happened.
