Well the Tigers were already the favorite to win their division and now they're going to be favored even more. It will be crazy seeing Prince in a new uniform.

[AbwsAgain]

Wow. I didn't even know the Tigers were in on him. It's about as surprising as the Angels getting Pujols.

Wonder how Miguel Cabrera will chime in on this? His stats are actually better than Fielder's aren't they?

[dpatera]

They've already spoken to him about it. I think you have to approach your franchise star before you just replace him. He seems on board to move to third base. Their defense may be suspect, but man will that lineup mash in the middle... In Cabrera's younger days, he also played corner outfield, so that may be a possibility, as well.

It'll be interesting to see if they have him audition at those spots this year, as he doesn't really need to with DH still open.
