1. Here Come the Tigers!

Look out baseball, this isn't Tom Veryzer's Tigers anymore. Make room, professional baseball is about to return to Detroit. We've missed it.

4. They sign 4 former Rockies and you're all excited?

INF Greg Norton (Rockies*)
C Bobby Estalella (Rockies*)
OF Ben Petrick (re-signed*)
INF Pablo Ozuna (Rockies*)

Norton (ok pinch hitter)
Estalella (batted .202 over two years at Coors field)
Petrick (failed as a catcher, converted to outfielder. He was touted as the Rockies catcher of the future for 4 years. If he ever gets regular playing time, he might be decent. Hard to say)
Ozuna (never batted more than 40 times/year in the majors)

6. We seem more excited because of the altitude. (nt)

I wish the Rangers had never let him go. He's still my very favorite player ever. *sigh*
