Every year during spring training we all put in our predictions on how well the Tigers will perform both individually and as a team. Who will be the Tigers' breakout player this year? Who will disappoint? Who will see some regression (positively or negatively) based on last season's results? Who will have a great year this year based on nothing more than pure optimism?
While we all like to pretend that we are experts on this subject -- Ed.: seriously, look at our preseason predictions -- there are actual experts that use well-tested formulas to create more accurate projection models.
