The Godfather, Bill C, started a practice way back in 2013 of counting “ifs”— a thought experiment meant to identify what type of performances and statistical output would be needed to bring the Tigers back to relevancy. Luckily for Bill, that 2013 season was indeed magical, and he essentially went 13 of 15 on his predictions/requirements. In an attempt to channel my inner ghost of Bill in the year-of-our-lord-2019, I’m going to get this tradition back on track. If my own foray into this is anywhere close to that successful, I’ll call it a win. So... here goes!
