January 20, 200521 yr This kid is tearing it up. The numbers are unbelievable.... how is it possible to drive in 31 runs in 15 games? This should be reason alone for Delgado to play for us. Cabs will be on a different planet sometime soon. :notworthy http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/sports/10685950.htm Cabrera starring in Venezuelan league By KEVIN BAXTER kbaxter@herald.com The Marlins' Miguel Cabrera is making the best of his winter vacation, having broken two Venezuelan winter league records by hitting eight home runs and driving in 31 runs during the first 15 games of the league's 16-game round-robin playoffs. Cabrera, whose Aragua Tigers open defense of their league championship in the best-of-7 finals starting Friday against Caracas, broke a four-way tie for the home run record Tuesday when he smashed his seventh and eighth of the season. He already had broken the RBI record of 22 earlier in the week. Cabrera is second in the league with a .448 batting average in 56 at-bats.

After the stadium, making sure Cabrera plays his entire career in Teal should be the single most important thing for the Marlins organization. What better way to start a rich tradition than to be the uniform behind what will hopefully be one of the best hitters ever.

January 20, 200521 yr this guy just gets better and better...he is going to put up some scary numbers this year...40+ hrs 130+ rbi's and about a 330avg.
January 20, 200521 yr We all know how good Cabrera is, but it makes me think about how good the Venezuelan Leagues are, do these numbers mean anything in the Majors?
January 20, 200521 yr Author We all know how good Cabrera is, but it makes me think about how good the Venezuelan Leagues are, do these numbers mean anything in the Majors? 660684[/snapback] Yeah, they do. THere are a lot of major leaguers playing in the Venezuelan winter league. Last year Cabrera hit about .330 down there. The Venezuelan winter league is probably like a low major league level or like slightly better than AAAA.

January 21, 200521 yr Author Check out a pic of Miguel on a Venezuelan newspaper. He's looking HUGE. http://deportes.eluniversal.com/
January 21, 200521 yr Cabrera is such a stud. If we don't get Delgado, he certainly will be batting clean-up this year.
January 21, 200521 yr Check out a pic of Miguel on a Venezuelan newspaper. He's looking HUGE. http://deportes.eluniversal.com/ 661737[/snapback] Just filling out a bit. :hat

If he does, he won't be able to play left field. They'll have to move him to first (if Delgado is not there).
January 22, 200521 yr his .448 average actually ended up being #1, which means with the HR and RBI titles, he won the venezuelan league equivalent of a triple crown. http://buscador.eluniversal.com/2005/01/20...rt_20203A.shtml little badass.
