Notes:

Comerica was a pretty extreme pitcher's park in 2000. The park-neutral OPS for most of the tigers is between 15 to 20 points higher than above.
The trade with Houston helped the Tigers lineup in both the short and long terms.
I really like Javier Cardona, though he's blocked pretty badly right now.
The terminally cursed Tom Evans heads a fairly solid group of longshots.
