Trevor Crowe has been making a lot of noise in Arizona Fall League and he is an outfielder.  I think the one that got away is\ngoing to make the most noise in San Diego.  His name is Kevin\nKouzmanoff and is a 3B-OF.

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.

Josh Barfield isn't because he's in PETCO Park plus he's goin to face great pitchers like Jason Schimdt, Matt Morris, Noah Lowry, Matt Cain, Armando Benitez, Danny Baez, etc. a lot, and those guys can make any rookie miss BADLY!!!!!! Edwin Encarnacion might be good in Great American Field in Cinncinatti, and with Ken Griffey Jr., Adam Dunn, and J.Lopez. So can Ian Kisler, the Rangers new great prospect 2nd baseman. i think Matt Cain can make a run for NL Rookie Of The Year.

They should be a little more interesting to watch...Alex Gordon > 2005 college player of the year >2006 Minor League player of the year >2007 we'll see, but Gordon has a chance to be a star..\n\nBilly Butler is only 20, and, he can flat out hit, will he make the big club?\n\nIt would be nice to see Mike Sweeney actually play a full season, it is a contract year for Sweeney so he's going to have a little more incentive than usual to put up numbers...\n\nMark Teahen is one of the best young 3B in all of baseball, \n\nDavid Dejesus plays gold glove caliber defense,no that's not right actually he played better defense last year than any of the three(OF) gold glove winners in the AL.  I look for his offensive numbers to get slightly better next year...\n\nEstaban German is playing winter ball in hopes of improving his defense to the point he would no longer be a liability in the field...\n\nThe Royals need to do something about Catcher and Shortstop...John Buck and Angel Berroa have got to go...\n\nMark Grudzielanek will be solid again at second...\n\nEmil Brown improved his defense to the point last year that he's now a solid ML outfielder....\n\nAlmost no matter what the Royals do with their pitching staff next year it could not be any worse than 2006...I don't look for any huge improvement, but, I do look for the pitching to be a little better...\n\nI don't look for Luke Hochaver to start the season in KC but maybe by the All Star break they will give him a shot...\n\nJimmy Gobble has good stuff he just need to learn to keep the ball in the park...\n\nHudson - Hernandez - Redman, should at least burn up some innings\n\nThe bullpen should be improved.\n\nThe Royals are not going to go .500 next year, but they should win a few more games..Hopefully the young guys will make a big splash...

I guess you mean in MLB?\n\nWell, there are many guessings, but usually pitchers would get better, and suprising players will get back into average.  Now everyone can make assumptions - Manny, Ichiro, Johan Santana would get better.  Shelton, Craig Wilson will go down...

There are a number of exciting players around, but the few that could have a big impact, especially with the smaller grounds in the Caribbean, are:\n\nYuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina (as a young prospect), Kevin Pietersen, Chris Gayle, Afridi.\n\nIn terms of bowlers & all rounders, expect Murali, Dwayne Bravo and Andrew Symonds to play big parts for their teams.\n\nWe could all say Lara, Tendulkar & Ponting, but it would be great to see some of these other players performing.

i just want to say you are a good person for liking the tribe! They are gonne be the 06 champs. the martinez you are thiking of is dennis martinez (el presidente) im not sure where he is. but thome is on the rival white sox who arent doing so well this year so far, hershieser is an espn baseball analysis. sandy plays for the rangers i believe and is like 2nd sting. julio franco is with the braves i think and is like the oldest player in the mlb. omar is short stop for the giants and last i saw of mesa he was pitching for phili. hope that helps alittle and GO TRIBE!

I think they should start of with signing Glavine, it appears that he wants to finish his career there and they can get him for a discount. Also i think Drew might be interested in returning there. They need a lead-off hitter, maybe trade for Podsednik or Figgins.

Without David Ortiz it may be Jim Thome this year. He won't be worn out from playing the field and can concentrate only on hitting.  Just like Ortiz, who is far ahead of the rest.

OF/1B Xavier Nady, 1B Carlos Delgado, CP Billy Wagner, RP Jorge Julio, RP John Maine, and C Paul Lo Duca are the most notable new additions.\n\nHope they come in handy, I'm tired of the Braves winning the NL East!!!

Fernando Rodney is a suggestion. Last year he had a 2.86 ERA in 39 games. Although Detroit may keep him in the bullpen.

verlander is a rookie that is helping the greatest team in baseball.  he is definetly the rookie of the year

Almost make the wild card, but fail short, like last year.\n\nTake a look at American League.  The possible wild card contenders include Red Sox, Yangkees, Blue Jays, Athletics, Angels, White Sox, Twins.  If Indians cannot clich the devision, is hard to make the playoffs.

I would say Kevin Millar to face LHP at 1B and also give some power in the OF.  No Padre has 10 HR this year.\nMaybe Aubrey Huff to play 3B and release/trade Castilla.

Being from Detroit, I know it will be Kitna- although I would like to see McCown. Kitna is alright, I think the young guy will be better suited and more successful for this team.

Alot of it depends on a player who was limited in his 'worth' in 2006 and has a good season in 2007..\n\nA couple of candidates..\n\nIf Mike Sweeney of KC can stay healthy and put up good numbers..\n\nShannon Stewart of Minnesota..  \n\nGary Sheffield, now with Detroit\n\nThose three I would guess to be the AL front runners right now..  each played 60 or less games, have a decent track record in the past, and if they stay healthy, are capable of putting up "rebound' numbers
