Joel Zumaya

They should be -- this is a lineup that matches Boston's, New York's. And now that Joel Zumaya is back -- he earned the save Monday -- the Tigers bullpen looks a lot better. This game was won by the Detroit pen, which was a lot better than the Twins' pen.

tarting rotations in the league.
The bullpen is where things really get dicey, especially without Joel Zumaya and Fernando Rodney. These two have absolutely electric stuff but it is uncertain when they will return from injuries and how effective they will be once they do. Also there is no depth in the rotation after the first five and should anyone go down, Detroit will be in trouble. No of this should matter in the regular season as the Yankees have consistently shown us you can win 90 plus games on offense alone with some mediocre pitching mixed in. Look for the offense to carry the load but the Tigers must make some pitching acquisitions during the season if they are to succeed in the playoffs.
