Blockbuster deal rocks baseball...but has nothing to do with Santana
Published 12/5/2007 by Dave & Aziz Nekoukar at NJ.com: Pride of the Yankees
Peter Gammons is reporting a blockbuster deal between the Marlins and Tigers , as the Fish have sent Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis to the Tigers in exchange for the rising stud pitcher Andrew Miller, top-rated OF prospect Cameron Maybin, and four other prospects. This deal is huge, but has minimal impact on the Yankees -- that is, unless there's another battle for a Wild Card spot next September. At that point, if the Yanks aren't competing for the division, the Tigers may be running away with it. That's not to say this is a bad deal for the Marlins -- Maybin is a player ...

... this one." There are also some rumors flying around out there about a Brian Fuentes trade, and some are claiming Colorado tried to flip Clint Barmes for Houston's Chris Burke (a classic offense for defense trade, only Barmes' offense was awful last season too) only to be rebuffed. I can't get too excited about any of this manuevering, not when the real teams are talking about Johan Santana deals. So I would be done now, except word just came down from the research department that Detroit has sent every significant prospect in its system to Florida for Dontrelle Willis, who ...

It looks like the Detroit Tigers have made the first blockbuster trade of the Winter Meetings. Well, they lost the division to the Indians, and now they have made a move that potentially may get them back into the playoffs again in 2008. The Florida Marlins and Detroit Tigers have agreed in principle on a trade that will send Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis to Detroit for key prospects, sources told ESPN's Peter Gammons. The Tigers would send outfielder Cameron Maybin, pitcher Andrew Miller, catcher Mike Rabelo and three other minor league pitchers to the Marlins. and... ...
Bill Smith is doing it his way.

All day, I was planning on either a "Johan Santana was traded" or a "for the love of Pete, trade Johan Santana already" post this evening. That was, of course, until this happened (and I'm honored just to link to Peter Gammons). Now all those teams planning to invest all those prospects in Miguel Cabrera can turn back to the Twins and Santana and try to knock Bill Smith's socks off. In a way, the Tigers did us two favors by acquiring Cabrera and Willis for 6 players (6!). First, as I mentioned, they opened up the possibility of more suitors for Santana. Second, they weakened ...

Season's meetings: Day 2: Why it pays to pay for draft picks Color me underwhelmed by the package the Detroit Tigers plan to ship to the Florida Marlins in return for Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis. They significantly upgraded a corner spot and their fifth starter by packaging Cameron Maybin, Andrew Miller and four guys they likely won't miss all that much. Still, the sad thing is even without the throw-ins, the Tigers had more to offer the Marlins than anything the White Sox could package. Even though he has an awful mustache and a worse pickoff move, Miller is a ...

Winter Meetings - Wednesday

Tigers get Cabrera and Willis for Maybin, Miller and several other minor leaguers.
In Jays news it sounds like there hasn't been much movement in a SF trade for Lincecum or Cain. More details are here. The Jays also have interest in Paul LoDuca, apparently at a salary that would be around $2.5 million for one year. As mentioned earlier, a job sharing arrangement with Zaun for those terms is a solid plan.

Cabrera has had weight issues in the past, though his production cannot be overlooked. He’s a terrific hitter in a now even more stacked lineup. That said, with the age of the Tigers’ other players and the fact that both Cabrera (2009) and Willis (2010) will be free agents in not too long (and are both arbitration-eligible now). Unless they truly want to enter the Yankees’ ...

2008 Detroit Tigers
Published 3/18/2008 by Dave Rutt at Batter's Box Interactive Magazine
I don't need to tell you what the Tigers have been up to this offseason. GM Dave Dombrowski made the biggest news of the winter not involving anyone named Barry, Roger or Johan by trading a bevy of prospects and Mike Rabelo for Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis. They promptly locked D-Train up through 2010 for $29mil. Cabrera remains unextended, but he isn't a free agent until after 2009, so there's still time.
I won't analyze the trade too thoroughly. Here's a quick breakdown, with prospect grades courtesy of John Sickels' ...
