I've read that championship teams are built by being strong up the middle. Look at the upgrades we made at catcher and SS. And if Greene is a ROY candidate, we're going to be very, very good. Then we have the young pitchers with a years experience under their belts. So I don't understand people judging us by our record last year, especially the first 6 weeks when Hinch was learning what his players were capable of. The Tigers are a team on the rise and it shouldn't surprise any "experts" when we make the playoffs.
