July 14, 200422 yr He made an all star team of players who could possibly hit 500 HRs in their career Cabs got Honorable Mention ? Attitude aside, Gary has 500 in sight. Right Field, right now: Gary Sheffield (395), New York Yankees. It's a tough call: Sheffield needs to stay healthy (and manage not to piss anybody off) for another three or four years to get it done. Vlad Guerrero (254), who walks like Red Foxx in "Sanford and Son," and runs like Magic Johnson coming out for pregame introductions, needs to do it for seven-plus. Against all odds, I think they both get it done; Sheffield while playing for the Washington Expos; Guerrero hanging from gravity boots with a Vicadin drip in his arm. Honorable Mention: If Miguel Cabrera (32) were iTunes (which announced sales of 100 million songs in the last 14 months on Monday), wouldn't you buy stock in him with every penny you have? I've got a tip for you: Miguel Cabrera is iTunes http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=neel/040713
July 14, 200422 yr Author It's been really fun so far watching this star grow I cant wait to see what will develope
July 14, 200422 yr If Cabrera can stay healthy and play into his late 30's, no doubt 500 and 600 will fall. The way he has started, it's not that big of a stretch to see him averaging over 40 dingers a year, and if he does, 700 may fall as well.
July 14, 200422 yr Miguel does have potential for it. But he needs to start early in his career though. As the years go by he learns the pitchers better and better. That article doesnt surprise me.
July 14, 200422 yr Cabs has the tools, but is way too early to predict 500+ on a guy with 32 career homers
July 14, 200422 yr i dont think gary is going to do it 457805[/snapback] me too 457806[/snapback] umm then u must be blind,cuz he has avg over 30 tha past 4 years or so and he only needs to avg 30 for 3 and half seasons to top 500. he will reach 500 without a problem and prob more if he plays near his 40's
July 14, 200422 yr Hitting 500 isn't that easy. You can hit 40 HR's for 10 years and still need 100 more HR's. If Cabs plans on doing it, he better get started.
July 14, 200422 yr Well, if Eric Neel says it could happen, it DEFINITELY WILL! 457879[/snapback] LMAO
July 14, 200422 yr how many bombs do you think cabs will hit this year? Im kinda suprised that he has 20 bombs by the break
July 14, 200422 yr He definitely has the potential but there's no telling what is going to happen in the future. Griffey had t he potential to be the best baseball player ever. Now he is just kind of up there
July 14, 200422 yr yeah, everyone thought Griff was gonna break Hammerin' Hank's record first now it looks like Bonds But I think Griffey can reach 700 Back on topic to Cabs You think maybe he might have a 50 homer season one year?
July 15, 200422 yr yeah, everyone thought Griff was gonna break Hammerin' Hank's record first now it looks like Bonds But I think Griffey can reach 700 Back on topic to Cabs You think maybe he might have a 50 homer season one year? 458216[/snapback] Hell, the kid is only 21 and is already on track to hit 35-40 bombs this season. He hasn't even finished filling out yet. :o It's not much of a stretch to think he will hit 50 in a year.
