The Detroit Tigers hope that a move to DH will keep 34-year old switch hitting Carlos Guillen healthy for the 2010 season. Guillen played in 81 games for the Tigers last season and he was 67 for 277 (.242 avg, .758 OPS) with 36 runs scored, 11 homers and 41 RBIs. Guillen has a career batting average of .301 with a .858 OPS in 721 games with the Tigers in his six years with them. Guillen has averaged only 120.2 games per season for the Tigers but in those games he has averaged 72.5 runs scored, 14.3 homers and 67 RBIs. If the Tigers can get him to play in 140+ games this season they will be expected 20 homers and 90 RBIs out of him.

PROJECTED GRADE FOR THE DH IN 2010: B-
