So I told him, 'Be yourself, play your game, don't worry about it. Don't try to be anything but what you are and who you are. A lot of times, anybody, not just Miguel Cabrera, but anybody that signs a big contract and gets off to a slow start, people get on them. That's just the way it is. He's one of the big faces of the future for this organization. So he's dealing with something new. But I want him to be comfortable, be happy and do what he's capable of doing." |

As a result, the Tigers are rumored to be seeking potential trade partners, a list that may include the Mets Jorge Sosa and the Cubs Michael Wuertz. I think there is a strong possibility that something could happen these last few days, said manager Jim Leyland. I dont know if anything will happen. Its just kind of my gut telling me somethings going to happen, somehow, someway. I dont know. The market is somewhat saturated with players that could work as more than a few teams have arms that wont make the MLB roster and could be traded. |

| February 27, 2008 Manager Jim Leyland has already announced his lineup for opening day, and he has Miguel Cabrera hitting fifth.

"I wasn't very good in math, but I did some math and those four guys combined to average about .320 (last year)," Leyland told MLive.com. "I did some math, and I figured out that made a lot of sense." We kind of thought Cabrera would hit third and Sheffield fifth, but it doesn't make a big difference. |

Most notable was his enthusiasm according to Freep.com. Cabrera had his locker in the same row with Edgar Renteria, Gary Sheffield, Magglio Ordonez and Carlos Guillen. When asked about his adjustment to American League pitching, Ive got Magglio. Hell teach me that. (Hes the) batting champion, Cabrera said. |
