This time it’s starting pitching and with the Tigers coming off of a season where they led the majors in ERA, it’s no surprise that they’d show up in a list of the top five best starting rotations in baseball.

And they’re in some solid company.  The Red Sox are highlighted, but four of the five (Yankees, Angels, Tigers, Red Sox) are all in the American League.  Which gets me to a question.  Is this THE most anticipated Tiger season in the last 20 years?  You could make a claim for 1988 because they were coming off of a division title in 1987 but that team had a different makeup (mostly veterans well past their peak seasons).

It’s definitely fun to be a Tiger fan these days.
