Should Cabrera be listed at 3B already? I don’t think he’s going to play an inning at 3B in the regular season. The last time he played 3B, he made 5 errors in just 14 games, not to mention that was 2008! I don’t think the Tiger pitchers will tolerate him at 3B.

Thanks for the question. Placing Cabrera with the third basemen was a risk we were willing to take. I don’t believe that the Tigers can possibly stick with him there all season long, but Leyland has been pretty forthcoming about planning on playing Cabrera at 3b despite some expected defensive issues. We expect him to get five starts at 3b in the first two weeks, which will give him eligibility on most of the big sites.
