Dan,
You realize by now, that this is incorrect. Rogers and Verlander have never won 20 (I think 18 is their peak.) Willis won 22 in 2005, 14 in 2003 and beyond that is a .500 pitcher. He always starts great and then fades. (Let's see how he likes Detroit weather in April!)
Anyway, I agree this is a great trade for Detroit. It makes them a much better team. Perhaps even the favorite to win their division. Let's not build a new wing on the Hall of Fame just yet.
