Detroit Tigers MVP candidate arrives at camp and speaks for the first time since his DUI. Mugel Cabrera is coming off his best big league season yet and has averaged 30 home runs and over 100 rbi ever since coming to the show in 2003. He entered the big stage as a rookie leading the Florida Marlins to their second World Series title. Now at only age 27 Cabrera has become a full fledge super-star and was the only guy in all of baseball to be among the top 5 in every statistical offensive category last season. The only issue have been, he has had several off the field personal stains on his resume, this has included a domestic violence situation a couple years back and now this latest incident also stemming from alcohol.
In this clip he claims to understand he needs to get his life in order and is taking the necessary steps to do so. Usually to over come an addiction the first step is admitting you do in fact have a problem. Unfortunately Miguel is doing and saying all the right things now, except he still refuses to say that all important statement, "hi, I'm Miguel Cabrera and I'm an alcoholic." If he ever does this then maybe these horrible decisions can finally be put in the past.
Should Jim Leyland, usually a guy who rules with an iron fist, be harsher on his All-Star (he's not since he is on the hot seat and desperately needs a good Miggy)? Should the Tigers or MLB step in? Hell, I'd even hit up the Rangers on how they dealt with Hamilton's drinking problems and were able to completely move on positively from that.
