Massive trade for the Tigers
Mike Rabelo, Andrew Miller and Cameron Maybin - GONE (plus a few prospects from the deeper minors) for two All-Star Caliber players: Pitcher Dontrell Willis and Third Baseman Miguel Cabrera.
Begs the question - what happens to Brandon Inge? Does he become a utility infielder/outfielder? Trade bait? Convert to a catcher again (he has said he doesn't want that - but they did trade Rabelo and Vance Wilson was on the DL all last year)? He's a great fielder and an outstanding person - but Cabrera's batting average/home runs/RBI's are higher.
Think of this line-up - Pudge catching, Guillen 1B, Polanco 2B, Renteria SS, Cabrera 3B, Granderson, Jacque Jones, and Magglio in the outfield! Add a healthy Sheffield at DH, (God Willing), and the pitching including Verlander, Willis, Rodgers, Bonderman, Robertson and a stable of middle men and Jones closing...
