About 100 of those by our young minor leaguers. Bravo!

**catswithbats** · 01-24-2012, 09:20 PM

So the Tigers are totally going to score 2000 runs this year, right?

**DaYooperASBDT** · 01-24-2012, 09:48 PM

Bumping this thread should be a ban-able offense!

**sabretooth** · 01-24-2012, 09:49 PM

Legitimately, I think they will score about 800 runs.

**TigersFan81371** · 01-24-2012, 09:55 PM

We automatically know this year's team will be better than the '08 team because Dane Sardinha isn't on this year's team.

**Jeff6851** · 01-24-2012, 10:05 PM

Last place finish confirmed

**Shelton** · 01-24-2012, 10:23 PM

I will say about 830 runs.

**FloridaTigers** · 01-24-2012, 10:30 PM

Real talk, four years later, this thread can go **** itself. :(

I was put up to it! :p

AUGH! Actually I thought about this thread earlier today and wondered if someone would find it or start a new one.

If my life depended upon predicting the right answer, I'd say "no" without reservation.

**tiger337** · 01-24-2012, 11:56 PM

well, they scored 787 runs last year and I don't think Fielder is 213 runs better than Martinez

Better protecting Cabrera might be worth 1 or 2 runs over a season, too.

**DaYooperASBDT** · 01-25-2012, 08:38 AM

I'll say about eight fiddy.

I agree with Lee. I think we are in the 800+ range now, but not by as much as is being suggested. We did Lose Vmart, who we replaced with Fielder, so it's not like its an addition to last years team without the subtraction.

**Yoda** · 01-25-2012, 12:00 PM

Just so people are aware, this thread is from 2008 and people aren't actually suggesting we'll score 1000 runs this year.

**John_Brian_K** · 01-25-2012, 12:09 PM

Yeah it was a nice bump.

How long was Boesch out for again?

Replacing Martiez 12 HR with Fielder who will most likey hit close to 40 IMO and add Boesch for the whole year....

Fielder-140 RBI
Cabrera-125 RBI

Everyone else I have no idea...Fielder is getting more because he will hit 4th IMO.

Can the rest of the team bat in 700? It would make us close.

The chances of doing it this year are not much different than they were going into 2008.

This thread got a little BP love. In fact, the title of the article is a play on the thread title, and the writer and his porn stashe also get some MLB Network trigger time:
