Terry's Tigers Take

Boston manager Terry Francona said he wasn't thrilled to see the Tigers add slugging third baseman Miguel Cabrera and starting pitcher Dontrelle Willis in an offseason trade with the Marlins to their already solid roster.

"I was one of those guys getting in line thinking about how many more runs will they score and thinking about how they shored up their rotation. Then they had the nerve to have a tough first week," joked Francona.

Detroit was one of the trendy preseason picks to win the World Series. The Tigers are the only winless team in the majors at this point, at 0-6, though Francona didn't put much stock in early season returns.

"At the end of the year, everyone ends up where they're supposed to be. Everything is magnified at the beginning of a season. You can't figure this game out. That's one of the reasons this game is so great. They'll be a great team. I hope we don't see it," said Francona.
