Tigers get another piece of the puzzle yesterday signing Torii Hunter. His success versus lefties is one thing the Tigers were missing in 2012. Torii and the return of Victor Martinez is something for this Tigers fan to get excited about.

That, and Miggy's MVP!

I'm a little leary about Hunter at this point in his career, but he put up good numbers this past year and his WAR was at 5.5. If I was a GM and had the money, I'd take that gamble.

Hunter leading off, need a two hole hitter, and Miggy and Prince. Looks like a dominant top of the order.

Or lead off Jackson, and bat Torii second.

1. Austin Jackson (.300 Avg and speed)
2. Torii Hunter
3. Miguel Cabrera
4. Prince Fielder
5. Victor Martinez
6. Andy Dirks
7. Jhonny Peralta
8. Alex Avila
9. Omar Infante


I likes da looks o dat.

Jackson's numbers work too. In my book, the number one and two hole hitters shouldn't be much different with the exception of speed. Let the speedster leadoff and the obp hitter bat next. Sounds like the Tigers will be a run producing machine next year barring any injuries. What's next year's pitching for Detroit look like, Admiral? I know Velander will be back, but that's only once every five days. What about the pen?
