  1. My Tiger is Dave Dombrowski.

    My wife’s is “PlaPo” (her term of endearment for Placido Polanco)

  8. Justin Verlander. My dad and I saw his debut in Cleveland in ’05 and I saw him pitch in the WS in ’06. I just love to watch him.

  17. Gotta stick with Inge. Second place to Maroth. I guess I’m a softie for the guys still around from the 119-loss season.

  19. Inge for me,

    Pugde for my nine year old.

    My wife likes Maggs because he’s handsome (compared to me most men are)

  21. Top three for me, all of whom are separated by mere thousandths of a point, are: 1) Guillen; 2) Bonderman; and 3) Robertson.

  22. I’m a big Craig Monroe fan…….and Carlos Guillen….and Zum Zum…….but gun to my head, pick one, I’d say Zumaya. Love watching that guy do his thing.

  23. A year ago, I never thought I’d say this:

    CRAIG MONROE!

    The guy is clutch, goes hard every play, and knows who he is….and picking a pitcher from our stable is like choosing between War Admirla, Secretariat, Seabiscuit, Seattle Slew, Barbaro, etc. — you get my point.

    C’ MO’.

  28. Joey C,,,, Well you are alive. Dan called looking for you. jk. Glad to see your still around.

    Steve

  29. The Gambler. His performance, which I was very lucky to see live, against the Yankees and Randy Johnson in Game #3 was the best performance I have seen by a Tiger since Trammell in ’84. Rogers followed up that performance with an additional 15+ (!) innings of shutout playoff and World Series pitching. Not to mention his tutoring of our young arms, his celebrating with the fans, and Opening the year with a GEM against KC. KR, you set this city on fire! Thanks for ’06. Tiger number 2, how has he not been mentioned yet, Jim Leyland!

  31. ‘Nother vote for the man with a flashy glove and a cannon arm. Everyone’s favorite 3B, Brandon Inge….sans beard-like thingy.

  33. 1) Bondo — 18-20 wins, 200+ IPs, 200+ Ks
    2) Shef — 30+ hr, 120+ RBI’s
    3) Zoom — Just plain Nasty

  36. Craig Monroe. I’ve had to defend this guy for at least two years now to Tiger fans. When are they gonna be convinced?

  37. My Tiger is Wilfredo Ledezma.

    My positional Tiger is Curtis Granderson. As his season goes, so goes the team. Granderson, you best be ready to hit this year.

  38. Craig “see the ball go” Monroe. I just made that up, but I kind of like it. I have this gut feeling it won’t catch on.

  42. Where’s the love for Magglio Ordonez. After everything we have to thank him for last season and one person likes him because he is handsome?!? Magglio Ordonez is most definitely my future husband, he just doesn’t know it yet. He will, however, find out Monday April 2nd. I love him.. I need for everyone to know

  43. Jim Leyland….at the 2006 Tiger fest when asked about the previous Tiger teams and their inability to take walks and move runners over he said, “that’s horsesh*t baseball, and IT WILL NOT be tolerated” then, when he was asked if players can’t or won’t bunt he simply said, “If I say bunt, they’ll bunt…next question.”

    I’ll never forget that, and the fact that my favorite Tiger player changed every week.

    my 13yr old said pudge and my 5yr old said Guillen (because he wore #9 in tee ball and Pudge (because he wants to be a catcher)

  44. My positional tiger is Pudge. I still say if it weren’t for him comin over and then workin with these young pitchers, we wouldn’t be where are.

    He’s startin to hit like Ausmus, but that’s my Tig!

  46. “No one likes Pudge any more?”

    I do! He’s my Tiger and until my six month old son turns “of age” (whenever he learns to speak and can annunicate another choice), I declare him to be his Tiger as well.

  47. who’s my tiger? i’ll stick with the battery…

    pitcher: zumaya. there’s something that’s so primal about throwing 100+ mph gas. i love how leyland (sort of) uses him according to the bill james “relief ace” role.

    position player: rodriguez. he’s like shaq in the sense that every team he goes to gets better–and that’s especially remarkable in baseball! should be an easy first-ballot hall of famer.
