Hey Dr. Bobby– I’m feeling much better—-and I am “Dunn” being concerned or having any negative thoughts about about the line up changes. I only hope that I will remember the Tigers are playing at Comerica and not Cominsky Park. Let’s now concentrate on filing that left hander spot in the rotation and winning it all in 2012.

Don’t be too concerned about a spelling and/or grammer errors…they happen to the
best of us. Cabrera should be left alone in his new excursion. Seems to me there’s already
too much flapping about it. So, I for one will put it to rest and think more about how him
and big Prince will do up in the batter’s box. I’m already feeling better. I’m betting even
money on the two of them banging out about FORTY TATERS and knocking in over 200 runs
collectively. Boy, I’m already feeling better. How about you, Charley?

Hey Bobby — If the big Senor is happy at third and isn’t too envyous of Mr. Fielder’s bigger paycheck all of us Tiger fans will have much to be happy about this year. One thing for certain Cabrera will not be bored guarding the hot corner.

In my first post I must have not shaken the cobwebs out of my head when I referred to Fielder as “Price” rather than correctly as “Prince”. What was I thinking? I also are aware that the Tigers now play at Comerica Park not Tiger Stadium. At least, I didn’t say Briggs Stadium or Navin Field where they did play WBWF!

Cabrera is completely sold on his move to third. In fact, my scource tells me, he WELCOMES
the opportunity. Seems like first base was becoming a little boring for him…and we don’t
want the big guy bored! The Tigers are more concerned about their number five starter.
Now that Fielder is in the fold Free Agent Pitchers are looking at the Tigers in a different lite.
Who wouldn’t want that smasher lineup behind you. Fister is champing at the bit! LOL

Bobby- Your latest on the totally unexpected signing of the “Price” reads like a line from the “Music Man” musical. There is little doubt in my mind that this guy will hit more home runs in the old English “D” so I will put aside my concern about moving Cabera over to third and get behind you and march in your parade. If I still lived in the Detroit area I would blow my retirement budget and buy a season ticket to watch the fireworks at Tiger Stadium.

TOM…Thanks for your kind words…”make the season come alive” are words that make my day
“come alive”. Now if the Tigers just win another one for the boys around the hot stove. Garza
would be a great start!

Wow, Bobby!

I feel like I’m in Comerica, reading this. You make the season come alive in the middle of winter. Thank you. We’ll see if that crystal ball of yours needs new rabbit ears. I think you’re getting pretty good reception myself. I’ll stay tuned.

Charles…you shoulda’ been a baseball writer…YOU MISSED YOUR CALLING!
They did miss on Ramirez but DAVID WRIGHT IS STILL AVAILABLE!! They
might make a move on WRIGHT because he’s another GEHRINGER…Just wind
him up in Spring Training and leave him alone until the World Series. Would
that be nice for JIM LEYLAND or what?

Hey Bobby- Thanks for the wake up call! It’s hard to believe that the start of another season is just a few weeks ahead. It seems like only yesterday that the Cards were putting the Ranger’s aspirations for the title into a bad dream.
Looking forward to 2012 I would be very happy if the team as a whole would equal last year’s performance. I would have liked to see Mr. D. land Ramirez to fill the 3rd base spot but that was not to be. I will continue to hope that Leyland come to the obvious conclusion he has to fill the lead off spot with a player that actually hits the ball and gets on base.
As for pitchers what more can you ask for other than a solid left hander to fill out the roster. Hopefully one of the three you mentioned will fill the bill. Adding to your comment on the media’s play on Smly’s name I think “Below” could inspire some creative writers. If either or both of these youngsters make the cut the Tiger think tank should come up with baseball appropriate nicknames to take the sting out of the fans dealing with “Duane and Drew”.
