Prince Fielder Signing With Tigers?

by **JimIs60** on Tue Jan 24, 2012 4:15 pm

According to various sources, the Tigers are supposed to be close to signing 1st baseman Prince Fielder to a 9 yr $214 million deal. If true, Fielder would be the first baseman and maybe Miggy moving over to third, or one or both DH'ing. It would make the Tigers a super power threat with both Prince and Miggy capable of hitting 30+ homers, one from each side of the plate.

It makes sense. . . Someone is not getting any younger.

Just saw on Twitter that indeed Miggy is moving to third base.

I am just in shock right now.

DH

You now have a 2/3/4/5/6 of D.Young/Fielder/Cabrera/Vmart/Boesch

thats insane.

I mean, Right now you have a lineup for

CF Jackson
RF Boesch
1B Fielder
3B Cabrera
LF Young
SS Peralta
C Avila
2B Santiago
DH Platoon of Inge/Kelly/Rayburn/whothefuckcares

the best news about this was they talked to Cabrera before this signing. Im sure he will DH and 3B, with the Platoon Brigade taking over the other roll. Rumors are Cabrera has been working out to move back to 3rd base even before the Vmart injury.

My point isn't "where will he play" as much as "wtf!?!? That'll be incredible"

Wonder if there's still people out there who thinks Ilitch only cares about the Red Wings and not the Tigers?

2-8 could bat .300 in their sleep. You can't pitch around anybody.

I don't see Boesch hitting .300 in his sleep. Mostly, because he hasn't done it while awake.
