August 7, 200421 yr While Paul LoDuca has been getting all the accolades lately (and well deserved at that), I thought we should also recognize the accomplishments of Miguel Cabrera during the same stretch. Since the big trade last weekend, here is how they compare: Player BA R RBI OBP OPS LoDuca .500 5 8 .571 1.575 Cabrera .611 6 4 .778 1.667 During that stretch Cabrera has raised his BA from .303 to a career high, and team leading .317.
August 7, 200421 yr Jack should move Cabrera to 4th, since Lowell hasn't been hitting lately. Cabrera has the highest BA in the NL since the All-Star Break.
August 7, 200421 yr Good thread. Cabrera has been absolutely incredible. He has really exceeded my expectations by a long shot this year.
August 7, 200421 yr cabrera to 500 club? :shifty 500357[/snapback] Lets not get ahead of ourselves here.
August 7, 200421 yr Since he's decided to quit trying to hit the ball out of the park on every AB, he's hitting the ball a lot better. I can't wait to see him in the coming years.
August 7, 200421 yr 500308[/snapback][/right] I don't know... I think Lowell could use the protection right now.
August 7, 200421 yr His bat is special, but his defense leaves ALOT to be desired. I hope he can be put at first soon. Jack doesn't want to rush it, but he needs the change.
August 7, 200421 yr no do not move cabs to 4th keep himat 5th heres why G AB r h HR rbi BB K Avg OBP SLG OPS Batting 5th 5 16 8 11 2 4 4 2 .688 .750 1.125 1.875 no way can u move him
August 7, 200421 yr he should be moved to 4th because if there are runners on base, since Lowell is on a slump he might not move the runners. Thats why I think Cabrera should be moved to 4th in the lineup even though he does better at 5th.
August 7, 200421 yr 2k3 good point but u gotta give niner a chance to drive in some runs Cabs is fine at 5th beacuse he can knock in the top of the order and set up the bottom of the order u cant just rely on lour n jp to get on base for cabs to hit them in. let lo duca n lowell try, i know lowell is slumping but hell come out of it. With Cabrera at the 5 hole
August 7, 200421 yr can anyone tell me how many times we have had the chance for a big inning but the bottom of the order has failed cabs will prevent that at the 5 slot last night the him in the five slot helped us beacuse of niner got to drive him in and kept the game close
August 7, 200421 yr cabs has always had decent speed, just jack didnt realize it to much till now..I think
August 7, 200421 yr Why is it that Cabs looks like he's slower than molasses 500492[/snapback] because..he likes running on dirt?
August 7, 200421 yr cabs isnt slow he is an above average baserunner with above average speed, but it seems like everyone says hes slow along with everyone else on the team besides Jp and louie. I think we dont give our above average runners enough credit beacuse we have been spoiled with Jp and louiy
August 7, 200421 yr i think loria should try to sign him this off season to a long term contract. we just need to hope he doesnt get boras as his agent :-\
