Cabrera Comfortable

Miguel Cabrera is happy to be on the Tigers:

"I'm excited," said Cabrera, who helped the Marlins win the World Series as a 20-year-old rookie in 2003. "I'm going to be part of a good team with good players and a good lineup."

He and Rodriguez were teammates in 2003, and he is good friends with Guillen.

The only concern about Cabrera was his weight. He reportedly played at about 260 pounds last season, but appeared much lighter than that on Saturday. He's been working out with a trainer and said he didn't know how much weight he has lost, but did say "I feel more comfortable."

"He doesn't look heavy at all," said general manager Dave Dombrowski.

Did anyone go to the fan fest and see Cabrera or take pictures? Did he really look thinner?

Looks like he's in good shape in that picture

Certainly leaner than he used to be.

I saw Miggy during a Dominican Winter League game on ESPN Deportes earlier this week. He does look leaner, but it's certainly not a drastic change.
