The Tigers official site has a fun fluff piece about Miguel Cabrera's first day at Spring Training with Detroit. The part I found most exciting is about his weight:
- Others feel similarly about him. Ivan Rodriguez, his teammate on the 2003 World Series champion Florida Marlins, gave him a bear hug. Dontrelle Willis, his longtime teammate in Florida who came to Detroit in the same trade in December, patted Cabrera on his belly as he hugged him on his way in. There wasn't much to pat.
"No belly," Cabrera said with a smile.
As good as he looked during TigerFest, having lost at least 15 pounds since last season by most estimations, he looked even better on Monday. Cabrera wouldn't give a number as to how much weight he had dropped, but said he's actually slightly under his playing weight right now. He credited his work with a personal trainer for making the difference."

Danny Knobler of mlive.com has a quick take on Placido Polanco's 2007 season.
Sports Illustrated gives the Tigers some credit for their great offseason.
Apparently, Gary Sheffield will play a lot of outfield during interleague play, and hopefully that's about it.
An interesting look at the crazy situation we have with Brandon Inge and how he's handling his own trade demands.
Finally, Curtis Granderson (he's my Tiger) updated his insightful ESPN blog.
