Heymans predictions.

Nice to see someone not being conventional in the AL Central, and I think he might have a point.

I could by the possibilities of the Royals winning the central but cannot buy them winning the AL pennant

Oh come on the Tigers four-peat on the division this season. Easily the best rotation in baseball and they finally have a good D, should probably just sign Stephen Drew though. Lol the #3 starter lead the AL in ERA

They dont easily have the best rotation. Its debatable they even have the best rotation.

Oh the only team that is even close is Washington. You have the top 2 strikeout guys, the 2013 AL ERA leader, Porcello vastly improving and Smyly who had a 2.37 ERA in the pen last season in 76 innings. I mean all five I believe are projected to have sub-4 ERAs

Nah I would say Detroit and Washington are more elite while STL is just deep. Strasburg-Gonzalez-Zimmerman-Fister is ridiculous though but I pick Detroit because of they're stronger 3-5

Need to get to Vegas soon to throw a hundo on the Tigers for the World Series before they start off with 15 or 20 straight wins and their odds drop drastically.

But there is a debate to be made, which is all I said. Your claim was outrageous and not true.

I can. I have been hearing for about 4-5 years now about how much young talent team has and the future is bright. Well, something has got to give right? Youth is no longer an excuse for them. They were a tough team to beat last year. If they avoid a disastrous start to the season (like last year) I can see them taking the division and making noise in the playoffs. The playoffs are a crapshoot.

If the tribe is out of the playoff picture, I will be pulling for the royals. Delusional classless needs a reality check on the "city" of Detroit in general.

Only putting a hundo on the team with the best lineup and pitching staff combo in baseball history? What are you scared of?

I put a few grand on last years Tigers thinking nobody could beat them and well, they got beat. Guess I got bad advice.

Caught a little bit of it last night. Saw on the bottom line, and I hope it isnt a new thing ESPN puts on alot, and it was about two diff players who fiew out deep, and it stated how it would have been a certain number of parks they would have homered in.

Lets hope that isnt something they clutter the bottom line up with this year.

I dont watch the Sunday night opening day...I wait until the reds opening day to watch baseball.

While it is a crapshoot......I just don't see a team with virtually no playoff experience running the table.

The best part of a new baseball season, though, is Classy's hilarious over-estimations of his team. He's like the anti-Lou Holtz when it comes to this sort of thing.

Check that. Best part of a new sports season. Not just baseball.

It would be funny, however I just find it sad how delusional he is.

Like, I am sorry, but no rotation is CLEARLY better than Strasburg, Zimmerman, Gio Gonzalez and Fister. Its just not.

Especially considering JV had a sub par season last year.
