With the Tigers, Huff will likely play multiple positions including first base, third base and left field. He will also likely see action as a designated hitter for Detroit.

While with the Orioles, Huff was hitting .253 with 13 homers, 72 RBIs and 51 runs. Though his stats are down from last year (.304/32/108/96), Huff was still regarded as one of the better hitters on the market.

Considering he has spent the majority of his career with the Tampa Bay Rays and the Orioles, Huff doesn’t exactly have a lot of experience playing for a winner. The Tigers are hoping he can adapt quickly and help their squad to the postseason.

Currently, the Tigers are 62-55 and have a two-game lead over the White Sox.

Detroit Tigers Get Aubrey Huff

With a single and a triple in the seventh inning, Pie was able to hit for the cycle. It was the seventh time this season that a player hit for the Cycle in Major League Baseball. Earlier this week, Troy Tulowitzki hit for the cycle.

With Pie supplying the heroics, the Orioles were able to beat the Los Angeles Angels by a final count of 16-6. For the game, Pie was 4-for-5 with three runs and four RBIs.

On the season, Pie is hitting .254 with three homers and 15 RBIs. The 24-year-old from the Dominican Republic still has a long ways to go to prove that he can live up to his potential — but Friday was a good start.

Felix Pie Hits for the Cycle

By getting two hits in five at-bats on Tuesday against the Baltimore Orioles, Ichiro extended his hitting streak to 26 games. That’s not only his career-best streak, it’s also the best streak in the history of the Mariners.

The 35-year-old native of Japan is now hitting .355 and has five homers, 16 RBI and 21 runs. His batting average is the second highest of his MLB career, trailing only the .372 average he had in 2004.

With help from Ichiro, the Mariners were able to defeat the Orioles on Tuesday by a final count of 8-2. The Mariners got homers from Russell Branyan and Ken Griffey, Jr. and a strong outing from starting pitcher Erik Bedard to improve their record to 25-28.

5. Seattle Mariners
The Mariners will likely be improved from last season. They have a relatively high-priced roster so Seattle can expect less bad luck this year. That said, they will likely remain a top five worst team.

4. Pittsburgh Pirates
The Pirates simply don’t have enough talent. They’ve played hard the last few years but without the necessary talent, it’s difficult to put victories on the board.

3. Baltimore Orioles
Although the Orioles made a few runs at big name players, they once again had a disappointing offseason. They do have a few young players would could breakout but the team will still lose — a lot.

2. San Diego Padres
After a bad season, the Padres spent most of the offseason shedding salary. That is never a good combination. San Diego is in for another long baseball season.

1. Washington Nationals
The Nationals will likely once again be the worst of the worst. They don’t have much star potential in their lineup or at the mound. Overall, Washington just remains a mess.

The bad news is, the Yankees took this game against the Baltimore Orioles (thanks to Robinson Cano) in the bottom of the ninth and have won two in a row.

The good news is, the Boston Red Sox are on a 7-game win streak, the Yanks are 7.5 games behind and in last place, and GM Joe Girardi got ejected from yesterday’s game against Baltimore (46s):
