I'm as big of a Tigers fan as you will ever meet, but Cabrera has NEVER been an above average defender at any position he has ever played.

3 positions to place your worst fielders, #1, DH, #2, LF, #3, 1B!
Miggy has played all 3 and has struggled at 3B.

No nothing at all, i'm a Giants fan so of course I was cheering for Posey but McCutchen would have been my 2nd choice.

Well to be fair to Miggy, he wasn't that bad at third. He was no Longoria with the glove but he did get everything hit to him and made all the routine plays. He just had stone feet when it came to his range.

He only made 13 errors and half of them were throwing errors. His DRS (defensive runs saved) was -4, so he didn't really hurt the Tigers that much. He more than made up for those four runs he cost with the numbers he put up.

His UZR being at -10 backs up my statement of no range but he gets to everything hit at him.

Yeah he's a great 3rd baseman. I esp. loved the way he charged in for that slow hopper Pagan hit in game one.
