Tigers waiting for Cabrera to bust out

DETROIT—The Tigers’ new $153.3 million man has not lived up to expectations. But that’s not to say he won’t eventually.

Leyland apparently agrees with that sentiment.

I just looked at my current player database as of a few days ago, and Cabrera had a +33 per 150 park-neutral lwts.  What the hell are they talking about?
