IT IS NEXT SEASON:

Tigers look ready to motor (Ken Rosenthal, 3/16/07, FOXSports.com

The Tigers are the best team in Florida, maybe the best team in baseball.

Scouts following the defending American League champions are raving about how sharp the team looks in Grapefruit League play.

"They have a swagger about them, a confidence," one scout says. "They're all business. The way they approach it, they're on all cylinders now."

A second scout adds, "It's almost like they could open the season tomorrow and get out of the gate quickly, just by the way they prepare."
