Here in Arizona we aren't waist-deep in snow or huddled around the fireplace....we look outside and know we can play baseball if we want to. So given my other teams are either finished or should be, it's time to dream about baseball in the Motor City again. Mired in a total rebuild, I don't expect much...be lucky to win 80 games, but the kids are on the way and some will arrive this year. Chris Ilitch has the team now, Mike having spent almost a billion dollars trying for a ring and not getting one, passed away last year and payroll has been slashed. The stars were dealt, with only Miguel Cabrera remaining along with Nick Castellanos who they're trying to trade for "a prospect"....a great young hitter (26) about to be given away before he hits FA. Okay, that sucks but they've built a stable of young fireballers who are raising up through the bushes and will start arriving in late July. Last year they finally started drafting some hitters and may have hit it lucky on a couple. They'll pick 5th in this year's draft and should be looking for some boppers, the pitching taken care of. I can watch their whole season on MLB.com for less than $90 with Detroit announcers. It's a great transition from day to night here since their home games start at 4pm MST. Oh, here's our CFer, Jacoby Jones...can't hit, but man can he go get that ball.
