		<description><![CDATA[Pujols is past his prime...and in my opinion overrated. Prince hasn&#039;t even reached his prime, and the tigers don&#039;t need cabby to win a golden glove, he can play the hot corner, he&#039;s actually got range...idk if you have watched enough tigers games but cabby made a lot of good defensive plays, he&#039;ll be fine quit hating, prince could be the worst fielding 1st basemen in the history of the world but who the heck cares, would you enjoy pitching to the 2-3-4-5-6 combo of boesch, Cabrera, prince, young, and Avila? Then add in victor next year and that&#039;s 8 hitters of hell. Then add in the pitching verlander is basically automatic wins, fister is fantastic, porcello is good, scherzer is good, the bullpen is fantastic, and valverdre is money. Game over AL game over]]></description>
