Motown Mauls the Marlins
MLB FLEECE FACTOR: Providing MLB rumors and deciding who gets FLEECED. —
In what will probably be the biggest deal in baseball this offseason, MLB.com is reporting that the Detroit Tigers have acquired BOTH Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis from the Marlins for SP Andrew Miller and OF Cameron Maybin, along with 4 other minor leaguers. The names of those players are not available at this time.
Wow…what a deal, but in the end, to get 2 players like Cabrera and Willis is a huge score for a team like Detroit. Maybin and Miller are both big-time prospects, but Cabrera is a top-10 offensive player in the game already and is still a kid. Can Maybin ever become Cabrera? I have my doubts.
Willis is a tad overrated, I think. He ...

Tigers Land the Big Punch
Twinkie Town —
Story The Tigers are jumping in and making the first big blockbuster of the offseason, and what a doozy it is. Not only Miguel Cabrera, but also Dontrelle Willis will be Tigers. Wow. Going to Florida will be now less than 6 prospects, headlined by young lefty Andrew Miller and Cameron Maybin, as well as catcher Mike Rabelo. That news, coupled with this related news is a scary thought for the Tiger's cohabitants of the AL Central. I'm not a big fan of Willis, but his ERA last year was very likely the cause of some terrible luck as his peripheral stats changed very litter (his HR rate went way up, but his GB rate stayed ...

The End of an Era (Plus Some Holiday Fun)
New York Mets —
For the past two years, any discussion among fans (and even in the press) about what the Mets were going to do, could do, or should do eventually found its way to one name: Dontrelle Willis. To some, the lefty with the quirky delivery and impressive hitting skills was the one guy the Mets needed to acquire at any cost, at least in part so that they would no longer have to face him. To others, he was a decent, but overrated, pitcher whose heavy workload at a young age made him too much of a risk for the price the Marlins would ask in return. Tonight, Mets fans on both sides of the debate are left searching for a new player to argue about, as Willis was traded to Detroit ...
