| Player Notes |
| October 29, 2007 With the acquisition of Edgar Renteria, Carlos Guillen will be the Tigers' everyday first baseman next year. This is good in one respect for Guillen and his owners, as it should help him stay healthy, but it's bad because 2008 is now likely to be the final year he's eligible at shortstop. |
| September 28, 2007 Tigers 07 shortstop Carlos Guillen will move to first base for the 2008 season. Manager Jim Leyland told the Associated Press that "Shortstop is a very stressful place anyway, and for a guy that's knees are roughed up pretty good, it's even more stressful." Guillen doesnt seem to have a problem with the move. |
| September 19, 2007 There's been talk that the Tigers want to move Carlos Guillen to first base full time in 2008 to ease the stress on his knees, but Guillen isn't quite ready to make that switch, according to the Detroit News. "At the end of the contract maybe," he said about a full-time move. "But not next year. If you're going to bring in a shortstop, it'd better be a Gold Glove (winner) -- someone with better numbers than mine." Guillen did state that he would be willing to split time between shortstop and first next year, although it remains to be seen how the Tigers will handle this situation. |

| June 17, 2007 Carlos Guillen continues to play through his recent hamstring spasms, the AP reports. "He's not great, but he knows how to play with it, so he's fine," manager Jim Leyland said. Guillen went 1-for-4 with a homer in Saturday's loss at Philadelphia. He's at .303 with nine homers for the year, making a bid at his fourth straight year at .300 or better. |

| June 5, 2007 Carlos Guillen failed to earn a hit in his four at-bats Tuesday. At least he was able to lace up for the contest, though. He had been out four games due to a sore groin, but it looks like he's back in the mix for now. |
| June 3, 2007 Carlos Guillen was held out of Saturday's lineup due to his sore groin, as expected, the Detroit News reports. He's hoping to be ready for Tuesday's series opener with the Rangers, so don't look for Guillen to play Sunday at Cleveland. |
