Some baseball writer tweeted out that Miguel Cabrera's going to see a lot more IBB's now, and I have to agree. Why pitch to Cabrera?

Interesting. Between this, and some likely regression from Alex Avila and Justin Verlander, the Tigers are probably going to take a small step back.
I think with Verlander, based on his workload, is probably going to take a small step back next season. With Avila, there were some wacky things going on with his BABIP and HR/Flyball rates.
