From TSN:
Cabrera, who was rumored to be heading to Anaheim at the beginning of the week, joins a lineup in Detroit that is already loaded with the likes of
Magglio Ordonez,
Gary Sheffield,
Carlos Guillen,
Curtis Granderson,
Edgar Renteria,
Placido Polanco and
Ivan Rodriguez.
With
Brandon Inge at third base, Cabrera could move to the outfield. However, the Tigers will more than likely try and move Inge.
In 157 games last season Cabrera hit .320 with 34 home runs and 119 RBI - both career bests. Over the course of his five-year career, the four-time All- Star has belted 138 home runs and knocked in 523 runs, while hitting at a .313 clip.
Willis, meanwhile, fits nicely into a rotation that will be headed up by
Justin Verlander and rounded out by
Jeremy Bonderman,
Kenny Rogers and
Nate Robertson.
Very strong lineup!
