Who here thought the Detroit Tigers would be leading the majors in Fielding Percentage and fewest errors given up?

I know, small sample size, but wow. It's not like opposing teams are avoiding hitting to Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder either.

Its hard to botch a ball when your fat arse has a 6 foot range.

I'm interested to hear how the pitchers are doing throwing to first base after fielding a comebacker to the mound.

therefore, stats are pretty meaningless thus far.

That is like saying Jeter is still the best SS because he commits the fewest errors. It just isn't true. A true way to look at it is how is it affecting the pitching. I will say their pitching will come around, but Cabrera is going to hurt at 3rd base no matter what. Look at Michael Young and the Rangers in 2010. Killed the Rangers defense so much they went out and got Adrian Beltre the next year.

Prince Fielder's defensive laziness does not translate into any measurable statistic

I wonder who is going to be the worse 3B, Mark Trumbo or Miguel Cabrera? LOL
