12 days....

The Tigers' first game of the year is only 12 days away now and there are still plenty of questions swirling around Lakeland. I feel that the biggest issue is whether or not Bonderman will be able to start the year in the rotation. If he can than we will only need to find one starter but if not it could be bad news bears. Robertson and Porcello are the two best pitchers for that last spot. If Nate Dogg has his slider working and can consistently throw strikes I would take him north and allow Porcello some more time to get seasoning in the minors. But if Bondo can't go that first week of the year both will have to be on the big league club. This should be an interesting final week and a half of spring and big decisions will be made.

My projected rotation:
1) Verlander
2) Galarraga
3) Jackson
4) Bonderman
5) Robertson


Tomorrow evening the madness continues with sweet 16 action. Speaking of the sweet 16, what jerkface decided to copyright the name. This stuff is getting out of control like Sebastian the crab did in little mermaid with his crazy singing voice. Back to the tourney, the biggest game for me Thursday is Memphis vs. Missouri. The equation has Memphis reaching the championship game so I desperately need them to advance, especially since a large number of folks have UConn beating them in the following round. I fully expect a close game between the two Tigers squads. Ken Pomeroy's predictive methods say this game will be around 70 possessions. This seems low to the naked eye but Pomeroy is a damn genius and I'll put my money (I hardly have any) on him. Go Tigers! Memphis that is.

I'm attempting to throw together a Fantasy baseball draft list by the end of next week for anyone who wants to holla at it. Knees on bows all up my grill! 10-4.
