After losing Victor Martinez, we're generally ecstatic in Detroit, but as to the long term view, Joe is of course correct--the old man's last, even half-way decent year came when he was 33. After that, he was too fat to get around on any fastball above the belt (and what big fat guy was effective past 35, other than that guy who started out pitching for Boston, whose PSA 7 M rookie just sold for 200K?)! One problem we see here is that Cabrera is the better fielding first baseman, and we don't really think Miguel can play 3rd effectively. Why shouldn't the slugging fat guy DH, even though he is younger???
Happy days are here again, to all of us Tiger fans in any event!
