Buster Olney wrote a piece listing the ten best infields in the game.
I?ll paste what he wrote for the #2 infield in baseball: The Detroit Tigers?

?Let?s get this out of the way: The Tigers? infield defense was the worst in the majors last season because of plays not made, and for a sinker-ball pitcher like Rick Porcello, the lack of range is a problem. But in the end, Detroit reached the World Series largely because of the offensive excellence of Miguel Cabrera, who had the first Triple Crown season in almost half a century, and Prince Fielder, who made a seamless transition in his first season in Detroit. Those two combined for 74 homers and 247 RBIs.

?They?re the best 1-2 punch in the big leagues,? an AL general manager said recently. A very underrated part of what Cabrera and Fielder provide is their devotion to playing daily: They answer the bell, every day. Over the last seven seasons, Cabrera and Fielder have missed a total of 40 games. Omar Infante seemingly put a lot of pressure on himself after joining the Tigers in a midseason trade, before settling in and playing better down in the last weeks; he should be better this year.

The X factor: Their shortstop situation. The Tigers exercised the 2013 option for Jhonny Peralta, who is steady but limited, especially on defense. But they demonstrated during the winter that they?re open to a possible upgrade, and it?ll be interesting to see if Peralta holds this position throughout the season, or if Detroit aggressively looks for an alternative during the year.?

January 7 in Tigers and mlb history:

1915 - The Detroit Tigers waive Wally Pipp to the New York Yankees. Pipp hit .161 in 12 games, but he'll anchor first base in New York for a decade until Lou Gehrig's appearance.

1933: Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis announces that he is cutting his salary by 40 percent. Landis's action is a sign of the times during the Great Depression; most players will have their salaries reduced for the coming season.

1993 - The Detroit Tigers sign first baseman Cecil Fielder to a five-year $36 million contract, temporarily making him the highest-paid player in the majors.

2005 Bud Selig announces that MLB and the Players Association will donate $1,000,000 to help last month’s tsunami victims in Southeast Asia.

2006: The minimum salary for players in the major leagues is rising $11,000 this year to $327,000.
