The fans of the newly named Tigers are hoping that this year can see them move away from their habitual spot of bottom 2 in the AL. The independent league assessors have given the fans hope as they have put their necks on the line with a 4th place prediction for the team this year. This includes picking up a winning record of 82-72 for the season. If this comes about the fans will be extremely pleased.
The MLB have decided not to make any changes this year and have left the season as 154 games long.
After a tough few years the Gm and Manager decided to try something different for spring training this year. They decided to take the team away to the beach for their pre season work outs to try and build some team chemistry away from all of the news and fan hassles that come with the club at home. They were pleased to see that this trip seemed to help the players and made their choice of the 25 opening day players tougher. Their final selection is given below.
