Projected Tigers Stats For The 2013 Season

Pitchers and catchers haven't reported yet, players are still in their off-season workouts, roster spots are still up for grabs, but that hasn't stopped me from taking a peak at projected stats for the season.  These numbers mean very little as you can't account for injuries or other expected occurrences but my guess is that is a mix of 3-year averages and the players trend on getting better, worse etc.; so lets have a little fun and see what CBS Sports is projecting for my best guess at the Tigers 25-man roster.

You have to take these stats with a grain of salt, very similar to spring training numbers.  For example, I can't see Dirks and Garcia splitting 700+ at bats, although I guess through days off possibly.  Also I take it as CBS is expecting Ricky P to be traded as there is no way 340 innings come from him and Smyly.

Think of these as something fun to look at with a little science behind them.

What stands out to you???
