"Despite the signing of slugger Prince Fielder, there's a spot in the Tigers lineup that remains open.

Designated hitter, of course.

It won't be open in 2013 when Victor Martinez returns from the two surgeries he's facing to repair his damaged left knee. But for this season, it is.

As matters stand, it'll be DH by committee — a big committee — for the Tigers.

That wouldn't be the case if the Tigers had moved Miguel Cabrera from first base to DH instead of third after last week's signing of Fielder."
