Besides Miggy's homer was a walk off homer.
May 22, 200520 yr To compare Joe Dillon and Miguel Cabrera is idiotic...situation is similar that's about it. Dillon will be a decent bench player, but thats probably all.

You saw it first hand what kind of power he has -- he wouldn't be the first overaged rookie to take the baseball world by surpise.

May 22, 200520 yr Miggy's was in extra innings wasn't it? 779544[/snapback] Yes, the 10th. Nobody is comparing Dillon to Cabrera. It's just wonderful to see Dillon enjoy early success after all difficulties he has endured to get back to where he is. It's an inspirational story that shows perserverance pays off.

Comparing him to Cabrera is ridiculous though.

Cabrera> Dillion And it's not even close.
