Two years ago, I started a series I called Playing Pepper, where I asked questions of bloggers of each major league team about the season to come. Not only was that informative and entertaining, it led to the spawning of the Baseball Bloggers Alliance. With spring training coming up, it's time to get back into shape by again playing a little pepper.
Detroit Tigers (81-81, 13 GB and third in the AL Central)
After coming within a game of the postseason in 2009, 2010 was a disappointing season for Detroit. The biggest problem seemed to be the inability to win away from Comerica Park, as the team was +23 at home and, obviously, -23 away from it. Was this a mirage, a snakebit season that could be reversed easily this season?
Our panel for this panel comes mainly from the distaff side of the species. First up is Shelly, who writes over at Seamheads as well as having a presence at Switch Hitting Pitchers last season.
Following her is John Parent, the only man in the mix here. John, the Detroit BBA Chapter president, writes at Motor City Bengals and can be found on Twitter and also over at Facebook.
Rounding out the group is Erin from Tigers Amateur Analysis and Jennifer from Old English D. No Twitter or Facebook for any of the ladies (Shelly included) and Erin and Jennifer are relatively new members to the BBA.
These questions were sent out before Miguel Cabrera got stopped, otherwise there might been a little different tenor to them. So dive into the only Tigers preview that won't include the words DUI, at least from the questioner.
