Sox fans, it's over

Seems that way doesnt it?


It never goes the way it seems.

Royals?

Enjoy the Tigers lineup when it features Cabrera, Fielder and Martinez in 2013. That's Yankee level free agency acquisitions.

If Miggy does indeed go to 3B, that is going to be a historically bad infield defense. Cabrera - Peralta - Rayburn - Fielder --

Verlander will hope to strike out 300 next year

I'm just glad the Cubs didn't get him. I don't trust a 300 lb. vegetarian.

Although it's subject to change, Tigers' manager Jim Leyland has wasted little time penciling 3B Miguel Cabrera for third in his lineup, followed by 1B Prince Fielder fourth & LF(?) Delmon Young fifth once the season begins. As for DH duties, Leyland seems to think it'll be a rotating one, although I wouldn't be shocked seeing all 3 of those names above taking turns.

"We all knew the kid was obese," Cecil told the Tampa Bay Times. "He had a hard time running to first base without getting tired. You don't transform your body by yourself, you've got to have trainers, you've got to have people cooking for you, there's a lot of things that go into that. ...

"There's a lot of people that wish he would get over whatever he's got going on with his self."

Cecil also told the Times that Prince has no relationship with extended family, including ill grandparents, and he "hides behind" agent Scott Boras to avoid discussing family.

Even though owner Mike Ilitch has affection for both Cecil and Prince -- and would like to see the relationship repaired -- Cecil said he won't be visiting Comerica Park to see Prince play. If he were to, it could end up like a game in Atlanta he attended a few years ago; Cecil said that while waiting in the family area after the game, security personnel made him leave.

"I know what I did for my son, and he knows what I did for him," Cecil told the Tampa Bay Times. "I'm going to take the high road, stay away from it and not cause any friction. ... You play for the Tigers, I played for the Tigers, do your thing. ... If you want to stay stuck in whatever cocoon you're in, stay there, but I'm not going to join you."

Cecil Fielder played for the Tigers from 1990-96, hitting 245 home runs -- including a major league-leading 51 in 1990 and 44 in 1991. He led the American League in RBIs from 1990-92.
