The hitting will drop. Only because the hitting in the American League so far is way down and the Tigers are pretty good so far but not anything crazy good. Water will seek its level. But the pitching should be in the top 3 all year.
Can't believe why the Tigers just don't go for a superior defensive club along with their pitching in Comerica. Strive for winning 4-3 games. Just live with not having a top tier offense
