How many hits would Ichiro have had if he started his MLB career at 22?  

Prime Ichiro may be my most favorite baseball player to have watched.  At the plate, on the base paths, in the field, doesn’t matter.  The fluidity and athleticism that he possessed, and the skill set that he had, and the baseball intellect.  Such a blast to watch.

Lorenzen looking like the steal of the offseason.

It wasn’t even a month ago that several here were done with him.  Seemed unfair at the time given the fact that he was returning from injury.

Hey Siri, what was the Tigers’ 40-game record the last time they won the pennant?

Tork and Greene are looking better but I'm still looking for more power from Tork in particular.  I don't mean to rain on anybody's parade or downplay their improvement but the Tigers need power from 1B and we're still waiting on that

To be fair, Michael Lorenzen may have been coming off injury, but he also was coming off two lackluster years, he signed with the one and only team interested in him, and he got torched in two of his first three outings for us. Now that's been put together three solid starts since, I think it's safe to jump onto the bandwagon for the moment.
