Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera is likely to play first base for Team Venezuela during the World Baseball Classic, reports MLive.com Saturday. This comes after he spent almost all of last offseason preparing to move from first to third base for the Tigers. No announcement has been made, but Cabrera is expected to play first with Pablo Sandoval at third for Venezuela. "If they put me at first base, I'll play," Cabrera said. "If they put me in right field, I'll play right field. I'll play wherever." Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski said he'd prefer Cabrera to play third, but he's OK with whatever decision is made. "I don't have any concern about him playing first, but I'd rather him play third," Dombrowski said. "He's played first many, many times, so I'm OK with it."
