Key phrase bolded. Only an idiot would play Cabrera everyday at 3B.
But, hey, if Detroit wants to trot out Cabrera at 3B everyday, that's fine with me.
1) He's more likely to get injured playing a high-impact position like 3B
2) He's probably at least a -10/-15 player at 3B, which could cost 4 or 5 wins a year.
They also don't really have a good hitter to slot into the DH slot.
Would be a giant waste to play him everyday at 3B, but I'm sure they could swing it for NL-park series (interleague or postseason)
