I see the transition to 3B is going well.

Looks like he tried to play it off his hip like Roger Dorn, and karma redirected it to his face.

And that is why they call it the hot corner.

It was worse then that gif shows btw. Chris Iott:

Cabrera was bleeding as much as I have seen a baseball player bleed.

The skin up around the eye/eyebrow area is really thin. Guessing he got cut by his sunglasses, though even something as dull as the seams on the ball can cut you there.

Wow! That's a wicked hop! Brutal.

How long are they going to go with this position change? If this is an example of how it will go...........Cabrera will be dead by the all-star break.

I now have two reasons to get MLB.tv. Vin Scully, and the disaster that will be the Detroit infield defense.

It's ok. In eight years they can move MCab back to 1B....:rofl:

In two years one of them can DH. Still can't believe they aren't DHing Fielder and preparing themselves to dump Martinez this offseason.
