This Tigers team looks a lot more like what I thought it would than their early season showings.
Didn't expect Verlander to be this mortal (he might have honestly fallen off the same cliff Tim Lincecum did), but other than that, the Tigers are - overall - about what I expected at the start of the year.
They're vulenerable.
