Your right about pitching, but the Yankees will sure miss A Rod's bat during the course of the long season. Boy could the Detroit Tigers use A Rod at 3B. We have the pitching. Ortiz and Ramirez are 2 of the best 3-4 hitters I've seen in a while. Boston's entire lineup 1-9 seemed to have outstanding discipline at the plate. I can see why they won it all (not having followed baseball at all during the regular season).
Steingrabber should just buy the Tigers lock, stock and barrel, or trade one team for the other, straight up. They have done a great job building a team.
A-Rod is the last thing they need.
