Now, its well known throughout the world, that Stephen Ostrowski and I don't agree on much. He made points in his Tigers Blog, good ones like the catching situation, and the dependability of our starting pitchers.
Starting with catcher. Gerald Lair is a good defensive catcher, he'll get the job done. Signing him opens up 3rd base for Brandon Inge, who came close to a Gold Glove 2 years ago. He might not put up monster offensive numbers, but Pudge wasn't exactly hitting the ball well to say the least.
Pitching--
Our rotation consists off--Bonderman, Verlander, Galaraga, Jackson, and either Nate Robertson, or Dontrelle Willis. I like the sounds of that. Bonderman was hurt last year yes, but all signs point to him being completely healthy. Verlander didn't do as bad as his number point to. He often lacked run support, and bullpen support. Galaraga was the most consistent last year, and Edwin Jackson helped lead the Ray's to the World Series last year. It is still to be seen if Nate or Dontrelle can return to form from a few years ago.
The bullpen is stronger than last year, and the offense is still stacked.
This team has poise, experience, youth and most of all, hunger.
So to my good friend Stephen, I'll see you at Comerica...in October.

pitching however is still a question mark to me
the whole bull pen was terrible adding robertson or willis would definitely help or even edwin jackson
