| STRENGTHS / WEAKNESSES |
Strengths: Detroit has an excellent catcher in Jessy Checkett. They have a great firstbasemen in Godinho, so don't expect much to change there. Detroit has two strong relievers. Weaknesses: They need three quality outfielders. Looks like they need five quality starters in the rotation. Their bullpen is missing a good long reliever. Quite frankly, the Polar Bears don't have any true middle relievers or second basemen, so one has to imagine that's high on their wishlist. |
