Will the Detroit Tigers take the World Series in 07?

I think it is very likely and if they have some decent acquisitions in the off-season, I think they can improve their chances.

Their big problem is is that so far this season, they have not played well against the Big Boys in the AL (Chicago, Boston, New York).  They're 1-5 against the White Sox, 1-2 vs. the Red Sux, and 1-3 vs. the Yankees, which is 40% of their losses.  Since they lost the last series to the White Sox in Chicago, they've teed off on Toronto, Tampa, the Cubs, Milwaukee, St. Louis, and Houston, and go to Pittsburgh before interleague play ends.\n\nThey still have 13 games left with Chicago, 3 each with Boston and New York, and 10 with resurgent Minnesota.  Those are going to be crucial games to see whether the Tigers can hold off the White Sox.

If our pitching stays the course, yes.\n\nThe Tigers have the LOWEST era in MLB.\n\nI can't wait to visit "The Cell" and return the favor (sweeping them at home).\n\nIt is going to be an interesting year.\n\nHistory has shown the WS champs hardly repeat, so to all you white sox fans that "claim" you can repeat, I say "Good Riddance!"\n\nWe'll talk more in September.

No, not with Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau owning everyone. The only problem is the White Sox and the Tigers keep winning so our bad start is haunting us. Go Twins!

Without a doubt it is their starting pitching.  Night in and night out they are in every game because of their starters.  Even their rookie Justin Verlander is being productive.  Mike Maroth was leading the league in ERA last week and Jeremy Bonderman has the potential to be an All-Star.  Nate Robertson and Kenny Rogers have been solid players as well.  The Tigers are currently leading the league in ERA.  It also helps that Chris Shelton was on fire to start the year to ignite a dangerous offense.  Their relieving pitching has been able to hold the lead for them and has brought them to being within 1.5 games of the best record in the league.

No the won't make the playoffs this year, but they are much improved.  They won't finish last, hopefully the Cubs will do that, lol!  I am a White Sox fan, so I hate the Cubs!

The real thing; top to bottom the Tigers are a solid, talented team. Think of the them as the AL's version of the Florida Marlins, always in contention and dangerous, with 2 World Series championships in their short history.

I'm not sure about the "best" team in baseball. But I do believe they will win The World Series this year.

Win-Win situation.\n\nThe Yankees get rid of a 38 year old outfielder they had no use for. They also pick up much needed pitching help.\n\nThe Tigers pick up a desperately needed bat. Shef also has a history of performing very well in the playoffs, something the Tigers could have used in the World Series. In return they give up pitching, something they already have a lot of depth in.\n\nBoth teams win, the rest of baseball loses.

Being a Tiger Fan For Life I'd have to say that David Dombrowski is the main reason for the success of The Tigers.\n\nHe took over as President of The Tigers in 2001. He fired Randy Smith in 2002,a nd took over the GM duties as well.\n\nSince then he has stocked out farm system and has made some very good trades.\n\nOf Course the hiring of Jim Leyland is icing on the cake.\n\nJim Leyland is absolutely working wonders with this team.\n\nhe has them believing in them selves.\n\nJustin Verlander & Joel Zumaya are absolutely incredible..both are form our farm system.\n\nDombrowski got Polanco in a trade, Carlos Guillen in a trade, took I-Rod from free agency (when no one else wanted him) and he got Mags (Ordenez ffrom free agency as well when no one else would have him)...\n\nDombrowski is a very smart baseball man, and I am glad he is on our side.\n\nOn a side note, Dombrowski put the 1997 Florida Marlins together and guess who manged them?\n\nYep, Jim Leyland.\n\nSo, who knows?\n\nThe Tigers could win The WORLD Series....but after 12 straight seasons under .500 I'd be happy with 2nd place.\n\nRight now I am simply enjoying this season.\n\nIt's actually fun to see The Tigers play ball...and the most important thing in all of this is that the players are having fun too!\n\n\nFor me, the bottom line is that the players look like they are playing---not for money (like the yankees)---but for the love of the game.\n\nIt doesnt matter to me where they end up (Of course I'd love for them to win the WORLD Series)....I am simply enjoying the heck out of this.\n\nI like to think it's my reward for remaining a loyal die hard Tigers fan for all these years.\n\nThe baseball Gods are smiling on us!

Dude, it's way too early to even think about that.\n\nAs a Tiger Fan For Life, I am just happy they are winning; and I am enjoying while it lasts.\n\nSeeing as how The Tigers haven't finished .500 or better for the last 12 years...it is refreshing to see them do so well.\n\nIF (and that is a pretty big word) they stay healthy I expect them to give the white sox a run for thier money.\n\nI am NOT saying they will win the Central Division. \n\nBut it would be nice.\n\nSeriously, a 2nd place finish would be awesome!\n\nWild Card? It could happen. With Toronto winning The East we wont have to play those evil yankees or evil red sox.

They will win the WORLD Series this year.\n\nThey are destined. It is fate. It's thier turn to win it all.

Actually, to be honest, The Tigers are better than the yankees and the red sox.\n\nJust open your eyes and look at the MLB standings.

Not this year. Been awhile since the Tigers have won anything.

In the ALCS, the teams are going to be the Tigers against the Redsox. In the NLCS, the teams will be the Mets against the Reds. In the World Series, I say its going to be the Tigers vs. Mets. Tigers win.
