They're Grrrreat!

No, not Tony the Tiger -- the Detroit (say it with the accent on the first syllable; it sounds better that way) Tigers. After going to the Series in 2006 and winning 88 games last year, the Bengals just added the player the White Sox were rumored to be after, Miguel Cabrera. And in the same deal, they added Dontrelle Willis, who hasn't been as good as he once was now that his body has matured and he's less flexible, but should benefit from the spacious dimensions of Comerica Park. And don't forget Edgar Renteria and Jacque Jones, the other new pieces to the puzzle in the Motor City. Put them all together with Rodriguez, Guillen, Polanco, Granderson, and Ordonez, and you get a lineup to be feared. The pitching's not too shabby either. So the Sox not only weren't able to corner the market on Cabreras this offseason (besides Orlando and Miguel, there are four others who played in the Majors last season: Asdrubal, Daniel, Fernando, and Melky), they fell farther behind one of their division rivals. Kenny Williams needs to pull a rabbit out the hat (to quote Rocket J. Squirrel, "That trick never works") in the form of Aaron Rowand and a second basemen -- preferably one who can bat leadoff -- without giving up a lot. Not too much to ask, is it? Continuing with the cereal theme that started this off, Kenny's going to need some Lucky Charms.
