]]> The Prince Fielder signing this week probably came as a surprise to most, if not all of the Tiger fan base out there.

The act of one Brandon Inge after such deals like this, was probably a surprise to no one.

Perhaps, it’s time to cut him loose. Not to Toledo, but out of the organization.

Granted, Jim Leyland has some opportunity to get creative with the infield as the roster is currently constructed. Ramon Santiago will get starts up the middle and, like Don Kelly, will enter plenty of games in late innings as a defensive replacement. Kelly, along with Brandon Inge, will see some time at third base. Cabrera and Fielder will be rotated to designated hitter on some days. But the players I’ve announced for you above are almost sure to take the field for Detroit, as written, for a good number of games.

I’m certainly not complaining, it’s a gutsy move by the organization, but an unexpected one considering the length of the contract. The signing of Fielder obviously impacts Tigers star Miguel Cabrera. Cabrera has been the Tigers 1B for the past 4 years, and with Prince Fielder added to the team, who also plays first, [...]

I’m certainly not complaining, it’s a gutsy move by the organization, but an unexpected one considering the length of the contract.

The signing of Fielder obviously impacts Tigers star Miguel Cabrera. Cabrera has been the Tigers 1B for the past 4 years, and with Prince Fielder added to the team, who also plays first, the Tigers have a bit of a logjam. They of course could simply remedy that situation by picking a guy they want to play 1st base, and putting the other guy in the DH role. But baseball players can be finicky, especially star players, and more often than not, they want to put a glove on as well to stay in the flow of the game. It also might affect Cabrera a little that he isn’t the highest paid position guy on the team anymore. Not only is he being pushed to another position, he is being pushed by a guy that is making more money, and probably not as good a player.
