Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland has decided that his third baseman Miguel Cabrera should be play first base. Not surprisingly, Leyland decided that first baseman Carlos Guillen should move to third base.

Leyland's petition to Bud Selig to force Detroit's opponents to run the bases clockwise was denied.

I've been saying that since the day they moved a SS to 1st base. This should really help the Detroit defense.

I believe the players run the bases clockwise in the Israel Baseball League.

(or not)
