Detroit Tigers Team Notes

January 20 in Tigers and mlb history :

2000 - The 30 major league owners vote to give all their Internet rights to the Commissioner's office. This decision allows for the creation of mlb.com, which will become a model of success for other professional sports leagues. Bud Selig is expected to parcel out monies earned from the venture in equal amounts.

Detroit Tigers Team Notes

"Of course we'd consider Prince Fielder," said Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski to Angela Wittrock of MLive.com in the wake of Victor Martinez's torn ACL. "But realistically, it's probably not a good fit ... I would just say that the fit is really not there at this point."
ESPN's Jerry Crasnick wrote about the abundance of aging hitters still available on the free agent market. "Some of these guys have made so much money in their careers, the $2 million-and-less contracts don't sound very appealing,'' said an AL exec. "It's a supply and demand issue. When you have a lot of guys out there, the prices are going to get driven down.''

Tigers players trust management to fill No. 5 hitting slot.
from the detnews

Yes, they need to settle on a No. 5 hitter. They also need speed. And they definitely could use another option at the leadoff spot.
Martinez made them pay and Cabrera still was walked a career-high 108 times. He led the league with a .344 batting average but finished with 105 RBIs, the second-lowest total of his career.

How about this: Get more runners on base in front of Cabrera. I asked Leyland if the Tigers might make a change at the top of their order.

"That could happen, depending on who the (new) guy is," Leyland said. "But I'd rather have a slow guy that can hit than a fast guy that can't."
