Got to wonder what Mr. I was thinking.
At the time, they were in the AL East. The thinking was since they couldn't compete with Boston & NY for free agents they would win with pitching and defense, similar to KC. Of course they never built a team that way and ended up moving to the Central anyway. Ilitch decided to spend big when he realized his window for winning and living was running out.
