(I say “generally” only because he just broke out of a 0-22 slump.) Miguel Cabrera went to the Tigers in a much ballyhooed trade back in late 2007. Dontrelle Willis went with him to Detroit and Miami (Florida at the…
Albert Pujols and Prince Fielder. Possibly the NL’s finest pair of first basemen last season now find themselves in the AL, who were already rich with first basemen. The Candidates- Albert Pujols, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Maybe the best…
In the AL Central… No chances at all. I’m just kidding. They have a shot, but then again, so do the Orioles. Cleveland is certainly head and shoulders above the competition, for second place that is. They are certainly better…
A Cy Young and an MVP award in the same season is no small feat. You won’t find it on many resumes anywhere. But can it be done again? Surely you would think no, but it’s not as obscene as…

The Tigers will Sign Prince Fielder ……… Holy schnikies!!! The Tigers signed him, they didn’t commit “fiscal insanity”. They jumped in at the last minute as the darkhorse team to get the big fish. Much like their acquisition of Miguel…
Also start throwing out your “maybe next year” quotes for M’s and Nationals fans. (Also, incidentally the only two teams that have never been to the World Series.) The Tigers won 95 games last year and essentially replaced an injured…
I’ve covered the fact that Victor Martinez is out for the year. Now the question is how the Tigers replace him, and who with. The name Prince Fielder tends to come to mind for a team who needs a middle…
