Apparently I missed the announcement - do spring training stats now 
count?

ITEM
Austin Jackson went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts and a walk Monday 
against the Phillies. Jackson is working with a new stance in an effort 
to cut back on the strikeouts, but it hasn't helped thus far. He's 
batting .242 with 14 strikeouts in 33 at-bats. The Tigers aren't about 
to move away from him in center field, but they should consider 
dropping him to the ninth spot in the lineup if he struggles next 
month.


LOSER
Berliners. Decision to extend Action Jackson's contract looks worse 
after every ST punchout. He can't steal first and Berliners desperately 
needs the SBs to have any shot to compete this year. Berliners' chances 
to take home the Damon ARE DIMMING.

WINNERS
Red Hots sense Berliners' vulnerability and begin process of packaging 
Suzuki in season's first dump deal. Hosmer the Red Hot sounds just 
about right.
Flaming Brats hope that Miguel Cabrera's on-base skills convince 
Leyland to bat him lead-off, promising even more tallies in the runs 
department. He just needs to keep balls from his face as he waltzes 
around the hot corner.  But for now, the hopes of the Brats and Red 
Hots SHINE BRIGHTLY.
