From "Marlins sending Cabrera, Willis to Tigers" by Robothal at FOXSports.com:
The Marlins and Tigers have made the first blockbuster splash of the Winter Meetings.Florida and Detroit have reached a preliminary agreement that will send star third baseman Miguel Cabrera and left-hander Dontrelle Willis to Detroit for a package of young players headlined by outfielder Cameron Maybin and left-hander Andrew Miller, according to major-league sources.
The Tigers will also send four other prospects to the Marlins as part of the deal.

Cabrera and Willis traded for six players. From a weight perspective, that sounds to me like an even trade.
Anyone know anything about the prospects the Tigers got? Do they compare to what the Dodgers have - ie Loney, Kemp, Kershaw, LaRoche?
from DT:
"174. Eric Enders
For the Dodger system, the equivalent would have been Kemp, Elbert (Miller's nowhere near as good as Kershaw), and '4 minor leaguers.' "
"203. Eric Enders
BP ratings from November:
RHP Eulogio de la Cruz (#7 in system; '2-star prospect')
RHP Dallas Trahern (#11, '2-star prospect'
catcher Mike Rabelo (not in top 11 prospects)
RHP Burke Badenhop (not in top 11 prospects)
So basically, it was Miller, Maybin, and a bunch of filler. Really lousy trade for Florida, IMO."
