I honestly think you guys are the retards. Saying Detroit isn't even a top 10 offense because of runs scored even though they were top 5 in nearly every offensive category is stupid. Because of bad luck and bad base running, they go from a top 3 offense to barely making top 15 according to y'all. There's no way you guys seriously think that. You guys are just arguing for the sake of arguing.
Anyone who thinks they don't have a top 10 offense, is incorrect... They certainly have some injury problems, and some of those stars are aging rapidly, but they are still a solid offense.
However; unless Verlander and Zimmerman can somehow turn things around and go back to being good, than I cannot see how the pitching staff is going to get them into first place. The bull-pen (closer F-Rod included) hasn't been all that consistent, so can't rely on them to keep all the games close if the starters can't keep the offense in it. They'll be solid, but I don't think they're going to be that good. They'll squeak into the Wild-Card spot, because I don't think the Astros will continue their pitching miracles from last season.
I think they'll lose in the wild-card though.
