Hovering just below the radar screen are the boys from Motown. This squad has a well balanced lineup that features players from their glory year runs of the mid 60’s-early 70’s and the mid 80’s. Any staff that has the 10 clutch Jack Morris is going to be formidable. Add to that the rubber left arm of the equally clutch Mickey Lolich and you’ve got some tandem. If manager Tom Davis can keep Denny McLain healthy and out of the casinos in Windsor he has a top notch 1-2-3 punch at the top of his rotation. Guillermo “don’t call me Willie” Hernandez will be at the back end to close out games. The offense is never anything to worry about in Motown. Everyone’s favorite Tiger, Al Kaline, will lead the offense. They keystone combo of Trammell and Whitaker will be together anchoring the middle of the infield. The key to this team is manager Davis, who is returning to Detroit’s bench for his 11th consecutive season. Davis has led the Motor City Kitty to the playoffs in each of the past 2 seasons only to be upset. Davis won the KOD3 pennant with the 2006 Tigers and won the KOD8 Championship with the 1957 New York Giants.
