""There's a lot of people talking about us, and we're going to get baited every day with questions about the 'Murderers' Row' lineup," Leyland said. "We don't have a 'Murderers' Row' lineup. We've got a nice lineup. You've got to be careful not to fall for all the stuff that's going on. Expectations are high and it's a real dangerous year, because you could fall into an excuse trap if you're not careful."
Can you believe how humble this man is? It was said by one of my baseball friends, that Leyland is a wizard. And it's true. Motown loves Leyland!

If Granderson can set the table with Magglio and Guillen has a big yr they could deal with a down/adjustment type year in cabrera, though i dont see him falling back if much at all. Even then this team is going to be dangerous. Enter bonderman and willis , now 2 guys i just wouldnt trust . I thinking that as a whole that divison is alot better in 2008 as well.
89-73
95 wins wouldnt shock me

He's a nice guy, but I don't always agree with his managerial style. He can be very stubborn and doesn't handle a bullpen very well. But I really can't argue with a guy who, in his first year managing them, took the Tigers to the WS after 12 straight losing seasons.
