Tigers Opening Day Roster
1. Brandon Inge (3B)
2. Carlos Guillen (SS)
3. Ivan Rodriguez (C)
4. Magglio Ordonez (RF)
5. Dmitri Young (DH)
6. Rondell White (LF)
7. Carlos Pena (1B)
8. Craig Monroe (CF)
9. Omar Infante (2B)

Hitters 1-8 have a legitimate chance of hitting over 20 home runs each. Ordonez and Pena should hit over 30. Hitters 2-5 should hit over .300.

This will be one hell of a lineup if everyone stays healthy.

For closers, they have:

7th inning - Kyle Farnsworth
8th inning - Ugueth Urbina
9th inning - Troy Percival

That should pretty much slam the door after the 6th.

Starters

Jeremy Bonderman - Cy Young potential. Will he reach it this year?
Mike Maroth - A solid finesse lefty. His ERA will drop below 4 this year
Nate Robertson - Could reach 200 K's this year. Another young one to watch
Jason Johnson - lower rotation innings eater
Wil Ledezma - Young rising star. Has 10 win potential this year. Maybe more.

Weak spots: Outfield defense, injury prone players, young and unproven as of yet starting pitching.

If injuries aren't a problem, I'd give them a good shot at winning the division.
