Kinsler had the 2nd highest fWAR in baseball last year for a 2nd baseman (5.4). Cespedes is much better suited for Comerica in left v. Fenway.

Well they got the BEST reliever on the Market last offseason (Nathan) and the BEST reliever at the trading deadline (Soria). Neither panned out.

The Tigers have replaced 6 of 8 position players in just the last 2 years. Look it up, only Avila is the same as 2 years ago. Miggy is there too, but moved from 3rd to 1st. EVERY other position player is different. The Tigers have rebuilt the position player part of the team while staying competitive. As for the pitching: Price replaced Scherzer. Rondon, Soria, Verlander and Sanchez figure to be back at 100%. All had significant injuries last year. Greene and Simon are a slight downgrade from Porcello and Symly... but not enough to make that much of a difference. The Tigers had a lot of bad luck with injuries to pitchers last year. They should be better this year.
