The first game was in Boston, and the
Detroit Tigers had a new first baseman with incredible
power, a new third baseman who would make too many errors and a great old manager who had a way with words. So here we are 18 years later. Cecil Fielder has become Miguel Cabrera. Tony Phillips is now Carlos Guillen. Sparky Anderson morphed into Jim Leyland. And, what do you know, the Red Sox are in ...
As part of the lineup and roster shakeup
announced today, Sheffield will move to left field, replacing
Jacque Jones. Jones was designated for assignment, and Matt Joyce was called up from Triple-A Toledo to take his roster spot. Joyce is in the lineup in right field tonight, with Magglio Ordonez serving as the designated hitter. Ordonez won't be a full-time DH; Jim Leyland will probably use ...

While coming into the 2008 season, the lineup
in the AL Central that everybody seemed to be
falling in love with was the Detroit Tigers, and it was hard to blame anybody for doing so. I mean, Magglio Ordonez , Curtis Granderson , Carlos Guillen , ...
Dontrelle Willis is landing on the disabled list
because he didn’t land correctly on Friday night. The
initial diagnosis was a hyperextended knee and that was confirmed today by an MRI that revealed no structural damage. He’s not expected ...
I'm not going to go into everything that's
wrong with the Tigers right now, as their problems
are pretty obvious to any baseball fan that cares to look. They can't score, and they can't keep their opponent from scoring. It's the type of equation ...
There has been great consternation about the Tigers
offense over these first few weeks, and rightly so.
With things starting to take off, I wanted to step back and recognize the start that Guillen has put together. How many times have we heard during the complaints about the offense that Clete Thomas and Brandon Inge were the only Tigers hitting? And then we’d laugh at how pathetic it
No joke. He just announced it in his
post-game press conference.
After the game tonight, Jim Leyland announced that
Miguel Cabrera is moving to first base and that
Carlos Guillen is moving to third. He said "I have a major announcement to make" twice before giving us the news. He then refused to discuss it any ...
Huh. Wow. Huh. That was pretty much my
reaction when I heard the news on my drive
home from the game that Miguel Cabrera is the new first baseman and Carlos Guillen will be moving to third. Color me surprised. According to Beck Guillen saw it ...
Sure, the Tigers' 10-2 win over the Rangers

It seemed the Tigers biggest infield surprise of
the night had come from Ramon Santiago. He started
at second base and hit his first homer in five years to finish off the Tigers’ three-homer third inning in their 10-2 win over Texas. He announced that Miguel Cabrera and Carlos Guillen are swapping positions. Effective immediately, Cabrera is the first baseman and Guillen is the third ...

It didn't take long into this struggling start
for the Tigers to pull off a major swap.

We haven't discussed the Miguel Cabrera - Carlos
Guillen position swap here on MLBTR - on the

Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland believes that moving
Miguel Cabrera to first base, and consequently Carlos Guillen
to third, makes his team better. But, according to FoxSports.com's Ken Rosenthal, the move may have unintended consequences, such as further alienating the team's former third baseman, Brandon Inge.
