The Detroit Tigers' offense wasn't their fatal flaw in the season now mercifully past. Everyone is well aware that the gaping holes in the rotation and the bullpen doomed this season far beyond anything the offense could do to rescue it.
However, the goal of ownership and the front office under new general manager Al Avila isn't just to reclaim their place as the AL Central's team to beat, it's to win the World Series this team and its fans are so desperate for. Fixing the pitching staff isn't going to be enough to make that happen in 2016.
