Just kinda wanted to throw this out there and I know its still very early in the season but is the best hitting team of our lifetime? If Polanco and Sheffield come back healthy and hit anything near what they are capable of and Granderson now back.
I know there has to be a little homer in me involved in this post but just wondering what the board thinks of this offense and how they compare to anything they have seen in the last 50 years.
I have been following baseball for over 20 years and cant think of a lineup this potent from top to bottom ever.....a few that come to mind are the Indians of the late 90s with Lofton, Alomar, Belle, Thome, Manny, Fryman......that team has a roided Brian Giles and Sexson who couldnt even sniff the field.
Yanks this decade also come close but I still dont think they come close to what the Tigers have....just to put things in perspective the biggest liability in the Tigers everyday lineup when healthy might be Jaque Jones who in my opinion is an avg to above average hitter....just wanted to get everyones opinion on this.
Pitching is this teams achilles heal and I doubt they can win a title with their pitching unless Verlander and Bonderman pitch like the Tigers envisioned and they get back solid performances in the pen from Zumaya and Rodney if they get back healthy.....again I am not saying this is the best team because I dont think they are unless they pitch but the offense is a site to behold in of itself
PEACE
