I know Jones and Rogers are gone. I was just pointing out how bad pitching and great hitting led to the Tigers failing to win a championship the last time they had a mashing team.

I wasn't looking at wins. I was looking at ERA. Here are the ERA's of the Tigers' five starters last season:

Verlander : 2.40 (led the league)
Scherzer : 4.43
Procello : 4.75
Penny : 5.30
Phil Coke (started 5th most games) : 4.47

Fister may be good, he may be bad. It's hard to tell. Penny will probably be gone. Valverde was very good last year. Alburquerque was good too.

But who will be their 4th and 5th starters? What if Fister's year was a fluke? That's 3 starters they either don't have or don't know what they'll get from. You can add Porcello to that list too, which would leave just Verlander as a guy you know you can count on. But again, not in the post season.
