He batted .334 his first year in Detroit and the Gold Gloves kept piling up for him. By the time 2006 rolled around, he was handling a young talented pitching staff and leading them to the World Series.

Cabrera is younger, has better comparables, would have cost less to lock up than T-Rex and the Olde Towne Team would have had an him 2008. The Tiger is far from perfect but the Sox should have been on him and not what appears to be asleep at the wheel last winter.

Miguel Cabrera: Tiger of the Year
Published 11/7/2008 by Ian Casselberry at Bless You Boys
... Following a somewhat disappointing start to the 2008 season, compounded by a position switch from third base to first base, Cabrera eventually showed why Dave Dombrowski was willing to give up so much to acquire him last winter.  His 37 home runs and 127 RBIs were the highest totals of his six-year major league career. ...

... Third Base: This one is much closer than most years, since A-Rod has missed so much time and hasn’t been able to keep up in the cumulative stats like home runs and RBI.  Mike Lowell and Miguel Cabrera have good stats, but Alex’s primary competition comes from Joe Crede, who has a decent average while leading third baseman in home runs and RBI.  Still, A-Rod has better percentages (.316/.395/.575 to .283/.356/.538), and will probably make up the cumulative stats lead by the all-star game.  He only needs to make up four ...

Dontrelle Demoted To Local Babe Ruth League

Dontrelle Willis Demoted To Babe Ruth League At least he made it there for picture day. Considering that Miguel Cabrera is being outhit and outslugged by Mark DeRosa right now and that Andrew Miller is starting to come around for Florida while the Tigers’ staff continues to implode, I’m going to say the Marlins got the better end of that deal. And this is before Cameron Maybin or any of the other prospects have even had a chance to make an impact. Billy Beane gets (and absolutely deserves) a lot of credit and notoriety, but Larry Beinfest has done some ...

He has gone from 50% above league average (150 OPS+) to 24% above average. It's still a sizable decrease though. Table 1: Miguel Cabrera's standard stats What's the problem?

I'm not going to rehash the entire list again, but it still strikes me strangely that the Sox are willing to foresake an edge for a much-needed hot start for a guy who turns 26 next month and has about 70 enviable career innings under his belt. Or 48, if you don't count the Mexican League . At least we can take solace in the fact that neither of the Sox's AL Central rivals haven't added any big right - handed bats .

Valuing Miguel Cabrera
Published 3/24/2008 by JC at Sabernomics
Miguel Cabrera is reportedly close to signing an eight-year $152.3 million deal. As hard as this is to believe, given the contract size, this is an amazing deal for Dave Dombrowski and the Detroit Tigers. I have Cabrera valued at $268 million over this time period, and this accounts for his first two years of the deal being restrained by arbitration. Cabrera will be only 25 in 2008 and he has posted OPS+ in the 150s for the past three years. Eight years is a long time to be tied down to a contract, and during that time league revenues and salaries will grow. ...

Berroa was making the trade look more palatable by hitting .317 with great power in the pitching-heavy Carolina League, before being promoted to AA Wichita where he hit .296 with a .467 slugging percentage.

If Tuesday's exhibition opener was any indication, then Miguel Cabrera is going to have a huge season for the Detroit Tigers. Sure, he and the Tigers were playing against a college team, which they whooped 17-4, but Cabrera smashed a 420-foot homer over dead center in his first at-bat as a Tiger . Cabrera, 25, has better numbers in his first four seasons than NY Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez did at the same point in his career . Rodriguez just picked up the option on the final few years of his contract, one that made him the richest player in ...
