Daily Roar

Roar of the Tigers takes a look at Miguel Cabrera's socks. I have to agree with them. It just looks weird.

The Free Press has an article on Placido Polanco's ability to rarely strike out. That's why he's the best 2-spot hitter in baseball.

Sports Illustrated rates our GM Dave Dombrowski as the league's 3rd best boss in baseball. Personally, I think that's too low. Their writeup on Dombrowski:

• 3. Dave Dombrowski, Tigers. He's willing to take big gambles, and they usually pay off. It doesn't hurt to have the $140-million payroll of owner Mike Ilitch, whose own good instincts were more responsible for signing Magglio Ordonez and Pudge Rodriguez.

Danny Knobler at MLive lets us know that Carlos Guillen will remain at first base and will rarely play short. This clears up the fact that Ramon Santiago will most likely make the roster as a backup shortstop.
