Starting Rotation

1. Justin Verlander

2. Doug Fister

3. Max Scherzer

4. Rick Porcello

5. I don't think it's a good idea to count on Jacob Turner being ready for a full major league season, so I would like to see the Tigers add someone here, preferably a southpaw. C. J. Wilson is the big name on the free agent market, but another good option could be Mark Buehrle.

Starting Lineup

2B. I would really like to see a second baseman added who could bat leadoff, but there don't seem to be any good options like that on the free agent market, so this is where I would be looking to make a big trade. Otherwise just roll with Santiago. I like him in the leadoff spot better than Jackson.

LF. Brennen Boesch

RF. Delmon Young

1B. Miguel Cabrera

DH. Victor Martinez

SS. Jhonny Peralta

C. Alex Avila

3B. Brandon Inge

CF. Austin Jackson

Bench

C. This needs to be addressed in a desperate way to save Avila's knees. At this point it is Omir Santos, but it shouldn't be too difficult to pick up a veteran backstop for cheap somewhere. Even Pudge if you like.

IF. Ramon Santiago (or if he starts, then add Rhymes, Worth, Dirks, or whoever you want)

IF/OF. Don Kelly

OF. Ryan Raburn

Bullpen

9th. Jose Valverde

8th. Joaquin Benoit

7th L. Phil Coke

7th R.Al Alberquerque

Mid. L. Daniel Schlereth

Mid. R. Ryan Perry

Mid. R. David Pauley, or whoever impresses in Spring Training? Beyond Valverde and Benoit, I would say this is a major area of concern, and I don't want to hear anyone say anything about Joel Zumaya making a comeback this year. The team offense actually ranked third overall in runs scored. I would like to see any money the team wants to spend this off-season go mostly toward a fifth starter and/or bullpen help. If they can pick up a second or third baseman as well, then great, but I would rather leave Santiago at second than leave Penny in the rotation or Perry in the back end of the bullpen.
