Prior to the season’s commencement, many analysts for whatever reason pegged the Tigers capable of scoring 1,000 runs this season. Whether these “projections” were born out of reality or more along the lines of superlatives to express how potent the offense could be, everyone expected them to succeed this season.

Roto Chronicles: National League–June 30

m_taylor13 posted 7/2/2008 from seamheads.com

Some pitchers found their niche in Interleague play, but some batters could end it quickly enough. The last week of Interleague play has wrapped itself up. For some batters (Utley, Howard, Teixiera), it’s not too soon. I mentioned last week that the differences in leagues make a big difference in how one plays.
