A long as Shelton doesn't start removing bottle caps with his eye sockets, he'll be ok.

I'll just say this<BR/><BR/>Chris Shelton's top comp is Joe Charboneau.

I think Young's projection is reasonable. People remember his 2003 season and think of that as the real Dmitri Young but that year was an aberration. He's never really been a power hitter but he used to hit for better average. What I'd really like to see from Young is for him to be fit enough to play outfield at least occasionally. That would give the team a lot more flexibility off the bench.

I have to say that I'd be thrilled with those numbers for Granderson. He'd be a real asset, and home-grown assets have been a rarity for the Tigers lately.<BR/><BR/>I agree with Sam that Dmitri's numbers seem pessimistic. Everyone grows older, and that's what their model is based on, but I think it's likely he'll actually play younger if he's in better shape. I think that's likely, especially

Hm. I hope their idea of Dmitri's slugging stats is pessimistic. I'm really hoping for more power than that out of him, and maybe even more doubles or triples with the (allegedly) shed weight.<BR/><BR/>Their take on Granderson vs. Nook looks about right, though, at least comparatively.
