He may have earned it from a player perspective, but that doesn't mean fans have to like seeing it. As someone who cares about baseball history as much as watching the contemporary era, I will always remember Cabrera as one of the elite hitters in team history. Seeing him play beyond his usefulness doesn't help his legacy.

His job is to hit. He does nothing else. The other 8 players do things other than hit.

He may have had ringworm, but that's not why he cheated.

Well, he did contribute to them scoring no runs and almost getting no hit.

The All American family.

I viewed it as a throw comment and did not think you were being dismissive. I have never seen you be disrespectful here.

I remember people hyping him up especially in Spring training and they got mad when you called him a non-prospect. I just figured any player who was drafted in the 35th round and was released probably wasn't very good.

I first came here in 2002 when the AOL board began to deteriorate. I liked that there was a group here that was really into sabermetrics and prospects which wasn't very common at the time. I invited some AOL people over here and one of them said he didn't like it because posters knew TOO much about the Tigers and he felt he couldn't contribute anything! looking back, we really didn't know anything! The only problem was there was some weird contest going on (some kind of promotional thing I think) that had nothing to do with the Tigers or baseball and half the posts were about that. I can't remember what it was, but MWG cleaned that up pretty fast.

But Hilary...

Only the smaht ones do.

I can't be sarcastic or joke on twitter because nobody gets it.

It doesn't matter what they find, The MAGA cult will just say it's no big deal or that it's a hoax.

I watched a lot of Braves games and they became my second favorite team for a while.

I enjoyed those teams a lot. It didn't get really ugly until later in the decade.

I wonder who he planned to sell those to?

After 12 years with 18 different teams, Wynton Bernard has finally made it to the show,

I know people who are not red hats, think Trump is a clown and will pobably not vote for Trump again, but they are Republicans who think all the investigations of Trump are either a waste of time or a witch hunt. They think he is not any worse than the Clintons. I still think these kinds of people can be reached.

I don't think Sportz is involved with that account. Anyway, I have noticed that whoever runs it is not especially knowledgeable about the game. I think it might be a kid.

Another example of scouts knowing more than fans reading minor league boxscores?

You are right about this year. It doesn't matter. He could get in the way next year if they acquire a couple of hitters and wat to move Meadows to DH or just want to use the DH to rotate and rest players.

I used to love Cabrera hit as much as any Tiger in my lifetime. Not anymore. He's been a replacement level DH for 6 years. He has reached his milestones and it's not much fun watching him anymore. I am pretty sure he'll be back again next year though. Assuming he is back, I hope he has a Pujols type role where he is part of a revolving DH position.

Fans and media won't care, but Tigers employees would.

Undrafted free agent and one of the best baseball stories of the 70s.
