Alex Avila told ESPN's Karl Ravech that teammate Miguel Cabrera has lost 25 pounds over the offseason.
Avila has been working out with Cabrera and says that Miggy is excited about moving to third base to accommodate Prince Fielder. He should be able to gain a bit more lateral movement with some pounds shed, but there's no doubt he's going to be a well below average defensive third baseman regardless. He could ultimately see plenty of time in the DH slot if things don't work out at third base, but the Tigers will give him every opportunity to stick at the hot corner.
