Troy Percival
Will he rebound to be a top 10 closer again?
Will Detroit revitalize him?
What do you expect from Percy this season?
Can he hit the 40 save mark? (He doesn't K many, so his Saves have to be high in order to make him a great closer..imho)

Thanks for your advice... ;-D

not a top 10 closer. He might get 40 this yr, but so could 12-15 other closers. I have him around 15th. Uggey will spell him occasionaly. Id still rank him ahead of Mota and Guardado though.

Troy i think has the potential to be a top closer but just cus of whos on the field with him. Pudge.... thats about it though, the starting pitching needs to come around first.

We have one of the better bullpens in the AL - close to top 5 there. The SPs are better than you may think too. This isnt the 2003 Tigers anymore.

Great offense - easily top 10, a defense thats poor in the OF but very strong in the IF, underrated pitching staff, you are gonna be suprised. ;-D

I would feel comfortable with him as my #2 closer. 40 saves is a possibility.

40 saves is very optimistic. I personally think he'll be around 30, with maybe a DL stint.

he is nowhere near top 10 b/c he can't K anybody anymore. SV should be in low 30s

I agree with Slomo. Percival cannot go three days in a row anymore and will have to be spelled. I think the Tigers realize that and will hold onto Urbina.

Predicting how many saves a guy is gonna get is next to impossible. Especially with a team that's young and has undergone a lot of changes like Detroit.

If he can stay healthy he'll be real good, but I don't have him ranked in my top 10 for closers.
