Indians vs Tiggers

Nope, not a mis-spelling. The Tiggers. Like, from Winnie the Pooh.

Now before we get started, let me just say that the Indians got shafted in this break. I'm not kidding. 2 cards. In 2 boxes. That's $6 a card. Not cool. I'll throw some extra stuff in there to help even things up, but it's not gonna help them in this contest any...

Indians Roster:
Hitting- Grady Sizemore
Pitching- Justin Masterson
Total cards (not including doubles)-2

Tigers Roster:
Hitting-Curtis Granderson "Unique Unis" (1:6)
Miguel Cabrera "Red"
Carlos Guillen "Red"
Curtis Granderson
Carlos Guillen
Magglio Ordonez
Miguel Cabrera
Pitching-Justin Verlander "Unique Unis" (1:6)
Justin Verlander
Ryan Perry RC
Total cards (not including doubles)- 10

Don't get comfy guys, it's gonna be a short one...

Grady Sizemore vs Magglio Ordonez
Sizemore is an excellent player who on a better team would have about 20 or more addtional RBIs per year. So through power numbers, the 2 compare, but Mags average 30 points higher in career AVG, so my choice is going to him.
Indians-1 Tigers- 10

Justin Masterson vs Justin Verlander
And the winner is... JUSTIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (saw that coming from a mile away)
Indians-0 Tigers-10

Pitching advantage- Tigers

Final score- Motor City Kitties- 10
Indians- 0

As we did with the National League, we had an odd number of teams with the Junior Circuit. So I granted the bye to the Rangers so we can get moving on to round 2! Wahoo!!!
