2011 Cy Young Award winner: Justin Verlander. 2012: David Price. 2013: Max Scherzer. All in same rotation now. Price gets AJ's No. 14.

Tigers new rotation: Max Scherzer, David Price, Anibal Sanchez, Rick Porcello, Justin Verlander. Wow.

I truly believed landing David Price was going to cost so much more than *that*.

The Rays front office really, really knows what it's doing. But: Smyly and Franklin? After all that?

Every year, people say the Tigers don't have prospects to trade. And every year, they acquire a star, somehow.

Scherzer, Price, Verlander and Sanchez vs. Lester, Gray, Kazmir, and Samardzija. October cannot come soon enough.
