Detroit (98-64, AL East, first): The Tigers might have some pitching. But where's the offense? Kirk Gibson is a big loss, and if Sparky Anderson thinks Gary Pettis (.208, 17 RBI) or Ray Knight (.256, 14 HR, 65 RBI) can alleviate the loss of Big Kirk, then it will be a long summer in Motown. Best player: Alan Trammell...
...Angeles: Kirk Gibson (.277, 24 HR, 79 RBI), Alfredo Griffin (.263, 60 RBI), Jesse Orosco (3-9), Mike Davis (22 HR) and Jay Howell (3-4) all decided that southern California is a nice place to play ball. But where will all these guys play? Fernando Valenzuela (14-14) leads the staff, but the boys in Blue can't field. Case in point: Steve ("Stone Hands") Sax, who leads a Dodger bumbling crew that led the majors in errors (155). Best player: Pedro Guerrero...

...spring training begins this season, I won't be watching. I used to admire baseball players; errant tobacco juice never bothered me. I could chew gum and hit balls through windows just as hard as the next kid on the block. My heroes were Stan Musial, Bob Gibson, and Mickey Mantle.
