The 1973 Detroit Tigers have to have the most powerful lineup ever assembled in the FABL. Surrounding HR King Willie McCovey and FABL 500 member Gene Oliver is a lot of talent. Here's a look at what the base lineup did during the regular season in 1973.

3B Ralph Garr, 27: .285-4-57
LF Tom Paciorek, 26: .306-13-67
1B Willie McCovey, 35: . 286-41-107
C John Bateman, 33: .286-31-93
RF Bobby Bonds, 27: .251-31-105
DH Gene Oliver, 38: .253-34-91
CF Jimmie Hall, 35: .268-24-88
2B Tony LaRussa, 28: .282-12-74
SS Leo Cardenas, 34: .258-4-45

Only Garr is a free agent in the coming offseason, and young OF Jose Cruz is being groomed to replace Oliver or Hall in the lineup. Oliver ended the season as a part-timer, so it's likely that he will start next season on the bench (he signed a one year extension)

Defensively, there are some leaks (Garr, Bonds, and Hall), but the bats and a strong pitching staff (Gary Nolan, Jim Lonborg, Doyle Alexander) have neutralized those weaknesses.
