After making his Grapefruit League debut, Miguel Cabrera felt like he and Victor Martinez will be ready for Opening Day, while Tigers' manager Brad Ausmus was a little more conservative and said that the chances of Cabrera being ready for Opening Day were "better than 50 percent." (MLive.com)

Fantasy Impact:

Batting as the designated hitter in his Grapefruit League debut, Cabrera managed to get through the game without any difficulties. Expect another great year for the perennial MVP candidate. Zeile Consensus Projections predicts Cabrera will slash a healthy .314/.387/.549 while hitting 30 HR and 109 RBI. With his consistent numbers and eligibility at both 1B and 3B, look for Cabrera to be a solid draft selection in the middle of the first round.
