Tigers select high school 1B Jackson Whitley

Thanks to PlayerX3D for working with me on this deal on and off for several days.

It was very tough to move Cabrera but the opportunity to land Hanley and Joyce was too tempting to pass up. I fully expect Miggy to be in the top 5 of MVP voting this season but I also expect Hanley to bounce back in a big way. His track record is too strong and I'm not seeing any indications that he isn't healthy this season. He might not like the move to 3B but I think he will enjoy hitting beyond Jose Reyes and will have plenty of protection in that lineup. I also think Ozzie will allow him to attempt SB's until his heart's content. And the move to 3B actually works out well for my team because I have Jhonny Peralta at SS and my 3B options were Brandon Inge and Scott Sizemore. Matt Joyce has shown that he is a consistently productive player and will certainly provide a long term upgrade over Casper Wells for me. Andy Dirks was a useful but not hugely valuable piece and Andrew Oliver could be a solid SP in time but I've lost patience with him after last season's struggles at both the ML and AAA level.
