Right on the inside of the door was Hamilton's signature with a bible verse. Norris signed 2 Peter 3:18 underneath it. “For me, that was like the coolest thing ever,” he said. “It’s like, I go in there and I literally turn the corner, it’s right outside the door.”.

2017 Tigers Predictions

... Zimmermann) had a disastrous 2016 season. The bullpen is littered with question marks with a number of inconsistent performances and poor springs adding to that concern. And that's building off a team whose ERA finished 20 th in baseball last year. So, which way will it shake out? I'm feeling optimistic that 2017 is going to be an enjoyable season for Tigers fans.

Add that to a division in which three teams are going to be in rebuilding mode, and I see the Tigers making a run to winning 89 games, finishing 2 nd in the AL Central and snagging one of the two AL Wild Card spots.
