I’m also pulling for my favorite Tiger Brandon Inge. He’s already come such a long way from the Toledo send-down. Do I hear a 290-300 average at the plate?

Carlos Pena will hit 30-35 homeruns with a .370 OBP… Bonderman will strike out 18 Twins in a game

Maroth will win 15 games, Bonderman will win at least as many and the Tigers will finish above .500 for the first time in a million years!

Monroe will have 30 homers, Maggs will hit 40 with 115 RBI, Inge will hit .290, Pena will put together a full season and Pudge and Guillen will duplicate last years success.

Farsworth has career year, pitching staff comes together, Nook Logan impresses lots of people. If Ordonez’s knee is great, Young stay healthy, pitchings staff matures together and Tigs make a run at 90 wins.

Four of the tigers starters will win 15 games each

In the year 2005 Alex Sanchez will be traded three times by years end.
Bobby Higginson will start at least one game in center.
Urbina, White and cash sent to Cubs for Patterson and a prospect.

In the year 2005, The Tigers will get into a brawl against the white sox after Bonderman brushes back Konerko, Inge will get a 6 game suspention for hogtying Konerko and wrestling him to the ground. Dean Palmer starts three out of six of those games going 3 for 13 with one double and 2 RBI.

In the year 2005 the Tigers Finish 92-70 and win the Central Division

Tigers win 82 games and finish 5 back of Twins.

Tigers bullpen is becomes a strength--with or without Urbina--and saves the day repeatedly for shaky starting pitching.

Jason Johson is a huge disappointment and goes 9-13 with a grip of no-decisions.

Bonderman wins 17. Maroth 14. Robertson 14. Ledezma proves he's not yet ready by early June and gets shipped back to AAA. Gary Knotts fills the fifth spot for remainder of season.

Franklin German is MVP of Tigers staff. But get's burned out by early September just as Tigers fall out of first place after a three day ride in the catbird seat.

Inge settles in around .275.
Pena continues to frustrate with inconsistency. Finishes year with 26 HR and 76 RBI. Bats .262.

Ordonez is unbelievable. Rocks an MVP season but is of course beaten out for the award by someone far less deserving who isn't a Detroit Tiger.
