 Other preseason annuals cover all of baseball and never focus on the team you love, but here's a publication that goes beyond the basics and provides the through and intensive treatment of the Tigers that diehard fans crave. Tigers Corner 2007 is the most in-depth and informative guide to the upcoming season available and with over 100 pages of thorough Tigers analysis--and full-color, high quality photography--it is unlike anything else available anywhere.
The Tigers experienced a true renaissance in 2006 by winning the AL pennant, but they come back into 2007 thirsty for the World Series championship that eluded them this past October. New acquisition Gary Sheffield adds a booming bat to the middle of the lineup, and with young pitchers Bonderman, Verlander, and Zumaya having another year of seasoning as well as playoff experience, the sky seems to be the limit for the Tabbies.
Tigers Corner 2007 starts by paying homage to the 2006 flag winners through an extensive recounting of last year's magical season and playoff run. The role that luck and skill play in the postseason is also evaluated in detail, and how that may have worked against the Tigers in the World Series. The book then investigates the 2007 team through scouting reports from real working major league scouts. This insider information is exclusive to Tigers Corner and will bring fans up to speed on the new team quickly. Also included is an analysis of the team's offensive approach and how it eschews the "Moneyball" theory of walks and on-base percentage. Further, an extensive and far-reaching interview with Tigers skipper Jim Leyland is provided. You'll also hear from the team's announcers and get their opinions about the Tigers revival and the team's chances going into 2007.
The book also revisits Tigers history, including a review of Hank Greenberg and how his career might be even more impressive than previously thought. The glorious championship summers of 1968 and 1984 and how 2006 brought back the echoes of these seasons is also explored. Tigers Corner evaluates the entire organization as well with a look at and ranking of the team's top prospects, an interview with prized lefthander Andrew Miller, and a close look at Cameron Maybin.
It is all packed into 112 pages of information written by Tigers fans with Tigers fans in mind. Tigers Corner 2007 is unmatched for the level and amount of information it presents and is an essential guide for every Motown baseball fan!
