Holy Crap
I think the Tigers gave up 5 of their top 6 or 7 prospects in their minor league organization to make this trade happen, but holy crap!!! Talk about playing to win NOW.
The Tigers will have a stacked lineup and rotation in 2008 and also likely in 2009. Now they need to draft and develop very well over the next couple years because the cupboard is bare behind the parent club. If Cabrera and Willis leave via free agency in 2009, the Tigers are likely F-ed.
I am not all that sold on Willis as a pitcher that can will live up to the potential of the three strong pitching prospects Detroit gave up, but a starting rotation of Rogers, Willis, Verlander, Bonderman, and Robertson seems stellar to me for at least one year. Add a batting order where Pudge Rodriguez will likely bat 9th, and the Tigers will be roaring in 2008!!
Still. HOLY CRAP!

I think the Tigers would win 110 games in the NL next year.
