Red Rolfe Sees Tigers Weaker Club Ahead of 1951
Detroit Tigers manager Red Rolfe says the club is weaker than last year mainly due to Art Houtteman’s Army loss. He notes only Earl Johnson added to the pitching staff and cites speed, power at first base, and catching as weak points. Rolfe expects improvement from Trucks, Rogovin, and Ginsberg, but warns the rookie crop is poor and farm system slow. The Red Sox are named as winter favorites, with Yankees and Indians as main challengers.
