Only five franchises in baseball have won more games than the Tigers since 2006. But is their window closing?Whats goodComerica Park is gorgeous, and its attendance hasnt slipped below 2.4 million in a season since 2006, so its no surprise that one of the Tigers best rankings comes in stadium experience (32nd overall). This is still a team with star power on the field -- Justin Verlander, Miguel Cabrera, Victor Martinez, Ian Kinsler, Justin Upton -- and that constellation is complemented by a group of younger players who could be the stars of the next generation, from J.D. Martinez to Nick Castellanos to Michael Fulmer. Meanwhile, off the field, the Tigers have a powerful combination of committed ownership (fans appreciate that 87-year-old Mike Ilitch is still passionately pushing his team to win and ranked him 28th in ownership), rabid fan base and sizable market, which gives them a strong financial advantage in a division in which none of their competitors can match them.Whats badFans are clearly unsure about the job manager Brad Ausmus is doing; he ranked just 106th in coaching after a second straight year missing the playoffs. His roster for next year is uncertain: For the first time in the free-agent era, the Tigers ended this season with a higher payroll than the Yankees, and many competitors believe this team doesnt have the revenue to sustain a $200 million roster. Dont rule out a massive deal, especially when you start counting how much money is tied up in the Tigers aging core. In a sport thats trending younger every year, bringing back all the stars could be a formula for the same sort of implosion that brought down the mini-dynasty of the Phillies just a few years ago.Whats newDetroit climbed 15 spots in fan relations in 2016, thanks in part to kid-friendly events (kids run the bases every Sunday!) and promotions (Coloring books! Growth charts! A piggy bank!). Thats especially fitting because the Tigers future is largely in the hands of their young pitchers: Michael Fulmer is 23, the likely rookie of the year and a future ace. Daniel Norris is a 23-year-old left-hander with a bright future. Matt Boyd is 25, with a dazzling feel for pitching. When we say its been a long, long, long, long time since any Tigers team has had three young starters such as that, we arent kidding. You have to go back more than a half-century, to 1965, to find the most recent Tigers team before the 2016 edition that had three starting pitchers, age 25 or younger, who made at least 10 starts apiece and all had winning records.Next: Arizona Diamondbacks?| Full rankings Jeff Carter Jersey .

"I dont know that were close," said general manager Alex Anthopoulos. "I just think, right now, the acquisition cost just doesnt work for us right now. I dont know if I can quantify how far off or things like that that they might be but I would say we continue to have dialogue. In 2013, the Super Smash Bros. Melee competitive community collectively raised a grand total of $94,683 for breast cancer research in a contest to be (re-)included as an official Evolution Championship Series (Evo) fighting game. After winning the contest, Melee found the birth of a new era at Evo 2013, shattering its own attendance records with 709 entrants to the singles tournament.Now in its fourth consecutive year at Evo, Melee shows no signs of slowing down with an unprecedented 2,372 singles entrants, and the stage only continues to get bigger. On day three of the event, the top eight finalists will compete at the Mandalay Bay Events Center, where legends such as Manny Pacquiao and Amir Khan have fought before.The ContendersIn the last two months, an aura of uncertainty has developed around the pantheon of top players. Adam Armada Lindgren and Juan Hungrybox Debiedma won the lions share of events in the beginning of 2016. Then, William Leffen Hjelte surprised everyone to win Get On My Level 2016 in May and Joseph Mango Marquez took first at WTFox 2 in July after having lurked in the shadows of second place for months. At this point, who is the favorite? Its a tough question to answer. Theyre all coming in strong and have everything to gain. So what are they fighting for?1. ValidationHungrybox has never had an extended reign throughout the course of his career as the greatest in Melee. Hes had moments where he was debatably at the top, only for Armada or Mango to quickly take back the throne. A win at Evo 2016 would cement his place as best in the world, which is a title hes been craving for nearly a decade.2. The Two-Time TieArmada would love to repeat his 2015 feat and earn his second Evo trophy. Having won two Evo trophies is one of the few accomplishments that Maango can boast over Armada. Rogie Vachon Jersey. Winning the largest tournament of all time would safely give Armada the title of best in the world and possibly that of the most accomplished Melee player of all time.3. The 3voAfter Mango won his second Evo trophy, he immediately had his eyes on a third, which he called the 3vo. Last year, his run fell short in fifth place and hes been dying to come back to the Evo stage. A third trophy would establish him in very elite company, as very few in all of the fighting game community have ever accomplished such a task.Gunning for MoreStill, this short list doesnt include the momentum and stories that other players have cultivated in the past few months. Ever since he signed with Echo Fox this past May, Jason Mew2King Zimmerman has seen noticeable improvements in his mindsets and results. He swept Hungrybox 3-0 at WTFox 2, which may be the confidence boost he needs right now going into Evo.Players such as Justin Plup McGrath, Jeffrey Axe Williamson, and Weston Westballz Dennis have been knocking on the heavens door of godhood for years. Can they work their magic and pull off some upsets? Additionally, some players recently resigned with new teams and others are still looking for one; good performances could mean the difference between earning a coveted contract with a new team and going home solo.The Evo tournament series has created classic moments, from Mangos He read that roll! bit on Hungrybox to Axes dirty four-stock on Otto Silent Wolf Bisno. Plenty of new moments will be forged this year, but this time it will be on an even greater scale among a roaring, sold-out crowd in the Mandalay Bay Events Center.
