1. Wow indeed!
|
Makes up for the loss of Victor Martinez.
Tough for Cleveland. |

2. Neat
|
Tigers fans will have fond memories of his father's playing days, so it should be a good match.
Cecil Fielder was surprised too... |

3. Nine years, $214 million.

A little over $23,770,000 a year -- could feed a lot of hungry people.

4. It did! They said they weren't going there.
|
I guess they were hustling.
It will be interesting to see what they do at first base. Cabrera to Right now that Magglio is done. I wonder. |

6. Welcome home, Prince!

Looking forward to this season!
Word here is Cabrera will play third and Inge will move to second. |

7. My father is hearing on the local news there that it could be a DH/1st base split.
|
The right field idea for Cabrera is interesting to me.

8. Yeah, likely he'll split DH and 1st this year...
|
then probably become a full-time DH when Martinez comes back from injury, provided Victor isn't traded. Martinez is on the books for $25 million in 2013 and 2014.

10. I Think That Prince and His Dad Are Estranged

They don't speak to one another. Is that still the case?

11. I got that sense from the article I linked above
|
Cecil seemed to be reading some tea leaves rather than actually talking to his son, based on the way he was surprised by the signing.
