Will Detroit Tigers Remain Contenders?

October 31st, 2007

It is very difficult, not to say impossible, to get back to the World Series for a team that keeps most of the roster together in the era of the 3-tiered playoff. A team must perform up to a similar level for a 2nd consecutive year, and moreover, it must stay healthy and enter the postseason with the roster at full strength. The Tigers came out of 2006 as a popular pick that were supposed to at least win their division. However, despite adding a major piece in Sheffield, the team’s young pitching was not able to build on its success of the previous year, and so the team missed the playoffs with a respectable 88-win season. While Detroit will remain contenders for the next few seasons, their task has only become harder with the rise of the Indians and the arrival of some impact bats in Kansas.
