Detroit has a winning record against just about all of the AL teams they've faced this year, except Boston, the Angels, the Mariners, and are .500 so far vs. the Indians, Baltimore, and the A's. Only Boston has really been tough on them, 1-5. If they can win the season series against the Indians, there will be no dispute that they are the best team in the Central. Beating down Texas, the Yankees, and the Rays is impressive, and they've earned a "top 3 or 4" in the AL rankings.

If you look at the headline of the post, you'll see that it wasn't I who said Fister's a number-five, it was Sports Illustrated's Jon Heyman. If anyone's an idiot, I think it's him. I linked to his original article in the post. Have a great weekend -- and go Tigers. Thanks for your comment.
