FACTS/FLUKES: Cabrera, Sanchez, Markakis, Perkins, Lobaton

Positional change doesn’t faze Cabrera…In the off-season, there was concern with how Miguel Cabrera (3B, DET) would handle the hot corner. When an errant ground ball fractured his orbital bone in spring training, those fears weren’t quelled. Fast forward to mid-August, and Cabrera is holding his own in the field.
