Tiggers are lucky the two good teams in their division completely sucked this year.

Not this season. If the White Sox could have gotten any production at all out of Adam Dunn and Alex Rios they would have ran away with it.

Still, they've been hammered by injuries and are still somewhat alive. The 30-15 start was a bit of an aberration but it showed the talent they have.

You just said a week ago I was stupid for worrying about them... They must not be too good.
I honestly don't see the talent on your roster, on the offensive end mainly.

Asdrubal's hot start was a fluke and the only truly talented hitters are Choo and Santana and Choo has sucked.

Don't see how his hot start was a fluke.. Still has a good average, still hitting for power and driving in runs. Choo has been a disappointment but he has also had numerous amounts of injuries. Hafner was having a good year but got hit with injuries, Sizemore's first return was good, but then he got hurt again and it looked like it really effected him, and now he's still out. Kipnis came up and lit the world on fire, and now he's hurt. Brantley is decent in left field and now he's done for the year. Chisenhall is a good young player at 3rd but Hannahan's hot streak has stapled him to the bench.

C: Santana
1B: LaPorta
2B: Kipnis
3B: Chisenhall
SS: Asdrubal
LF: Brantley/Fukudome
CF: Sizemore
RF: Choo
DH: Hafner

Sans LaPorta, all the guys there are talented offensively.

I'm talking about the guys that were there during the 30-15 run.

Asdrubal has hit like .260 over the past two months. He had one hot month, one good month, and three shitty ones.

As of late, yes he has been struggling a bit, but look at the players around him at the moment because of injuries.. He has no protection in the lineup and he is clearly the best bat on the team. Teams aren't going to give him pitches to hit. His off months are probably considered good months for most short stops as well.

Not to mention the clear strength of the Indians is their bullpen, which is arguably the best in the AL.

Will be at the Tigers game in 9 days! Will be sitting right behind home plate, only 10 rows up. You might see me on TV, if you see someone with a t-shirt that says "Anyone but the Yankees", you'll know who it is.
