| Cespedes: Unnecessary Gamble After Signing Fielder |
It looks as though our hopes of signing Yoenis Cespedes are fading fast as he is being wined and dined in Miami this week.
He says, "It would be good (to play here). There are a lot of Cubans and they would support me a lot. Hopefully I can play for the Marlins."
This may be good news for the Tigers as Cespedes had a difficult time in the Dominican Winter League, hitting only .148 with one home run in 35 AB.
With the consistent trio of Young, Jackson, and Boesch in the outfield, and with three more fully capable backups, Dirks, Kelly, and Raburn, there seems to be enough fire power to hold the space and allow Fielder and Cabrera to do their damage in the middle of the order.
Cespedes would have been a gamble, but a gamble seems unnecessary at this point in the Tiger's clubhouse after signing Prince Fielder to the nine year deal earlier this winter.
