ThurmanMunster Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 [quote]Tigers send top prospects to Marlins for Cabrera, Willis [b]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. The deal is expected to be announced Tuesday night when the physicals and paperwork are completed. [/b] "If it does happen, obviously they're getting two very good players," said Yankees manager Joe Girardi, who managed the Marlins in 2006. "Miguel Cabrera is one of the finest hitters in the game. He can do so many things with a bat, whether you want him to hit a home run for you, you want to hit and run, work the count, get on base. And Dontrelle Willis has been one of the premier lefties in the National League." Miller was Detroit's top pick in the 2006 draft and went 5-5 in 13 starts after being called up last summer. Maybin was the Tigers' first pick in 2005 and shot through the farm system, hitting .143 in 24 major league games, Rabelo batted .256 in 51 games, and one of the other pitchers, 23-year-old Eulogio De La Cruz , appeared in six games for the Tigers, hitting 100 mph on the radar gun. Peter Gammons is a baseball analyst for ESPN. Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

Wow the tigers are stacked out of their ass now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTBengalsFan Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Eh... Dontrelle sucked last year. And going to the AL is usually rough. We'll see if he just mailed it in last year or what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
