Full time DH next year, eh? If Victor decides to stay and they start him I will lose it.

If he doesn?t retire I don?t think the tigers resign him, his contract is up this year. I think he meant it when he said this will be it for him this year few weeks back. Stewart LF/DH expect to see more nick at DH next year too, more options and flexibility at DH next year imo

Cabrera will be more DH than 1B next season.

 

[tigermud]

Cabrera will be more DH than 1B next season.

Hope not, he?s the best defensive option at first but yes he?ll get some time a time DH as well no doubt

 

[Mitchrapp]

You could put Nicky C. at DH as well. It's kind of a pickle because I don't think young kids, a rookie, should be a FT DH.
