This team is Scary. I don't think they win will it all due to their lack of pitching, but it's possible one of the young guys steps up.
This team reminds me too much of the 01-08 Yankees. GREAT offence but sub par pitching with only 1 real dominant guy. They will be a force in the regular season, but in the playoffs their bats will go cold, and Verlander cant pitch every day.

Wow u have got to be kidding me! Pitching isn't bad and won't be the problem. Showed that last 2 games keep it close and you give your team the chance to win. Verlander will be JV, Fister will be fine and if any Max cld be the question but porcello looked good all spring more sink to his sinker and drew smyly will hold his own very consistent. Last I knew or looked u win 2 out of 3 in a series you will be just fine.

getting too old for this
pitching will be the problem in the playoffs....the red sox pitching was god awful and the tigers still could have lost two out of three because their pitching sucked...the tigers will win 95+ easy though

I think that the biggest question heading into the season was defense, especially w/ Cabrera moving to 3rd, no sure 2nd baseman (w/ Inge as the lead horse according to Leyland), etc. etc. So far it hasn't been an issue whatsoever - leading the league in fielding percentage.
Every team has a question mark. I'll take a question mark in the 3rd-5th rotation spots given that Fister's injury doesn't linger through the season. So far, other than a blown slow start by Valverde and a horrible start by Sherzer the pitching has been respectable. Not great (aside from Verlander) but enough given the lineup and contributions from players like Avila and Jackson.
The Tigers have a very scary lineup. If Boesch starts stringing some hits like today it's only going to be getting harder for other teams to keep up. I can't wait for the next 6 games against the Central.

He ain't so big anymore. They need to fatten him back up, I think

Ok, I don't want to get too down on Leyland, he's done ok, but how long is he going to continue to run Raburn out there?????
As of 5/11 he's played in 27 of the 32 games, he's hitting .128!!!! He has 2 count them 2 RBI's and has scored a whopping 4 runs...WTF!!!!
