After spring training is over there doesn't appear to be anyone under 40 in the rotation that looks like they are ready to shut people down. Even Verlander looks a bit off so far. Bonderman is working on a change up for the 50th season in a row, and Dontrelle Willis looks like a minor leaguer who can't hit the broad side of a barn.
What started as an incredible off season is starting to feel like it will shape up like recent Yankee seasons, or even that post-World Series White Sox teams a few years back. Tons of hitting, and terrible pitching. We may be hitting the old shower faucets early this season if the pitching doesn't sahpe up.
The bullpen was already a question, but the starting pitching was supposed to be at least solid. The way it looks right now we may have t average 8 runs a night just to get a win.
I don't worry much about Verlander, but Dontrelle looks like a bust already with his new contract, Bonderman is never going to reach the lofty expectations we all had, and Robertson is whatever. Rogers will be fine and win games, but how long is he going to make it this year?
Chicken Little.
Detroit Tigers, Detroit Lions, Detroit Pistons, Rasheed Wallace, Barry Bonds, and the world of sports.
