August 28, 200619 yr good for cabs...he is proving the naysayers about him wrong(and not just with his bat, as the ability there was quite obvious)...what scary is that i dont think he has even started yet...and with a few years being protected by jacobs, willingham, hermida, and han ram...he is goin to put up manny like numbers for years and years
August 28, 200619 yr As nice as that article is, anyone who reads BP.com doesn't need to be told about Miguel Cabrera. It would be nice if a more widely read newssource were to give Miggy some credit.
August 28, 200619 yr Should have gotten MVP consideration last year too, and probably would have been talked about more if the team hadn't gone in the tank. Plus he and Delgado split the Marlin votes. It'd be awesome if Cabs got MVP chants every time he batted.

People that read BP don't need to be told about Cabrera's ability, they're the hardcore of hardcore fans.

I know Delgado was among the MVP candidates, but he was definitely below Cabs. Still trying to figure out which 2 players on the team were better than Miggy. :confused
August 29, 200619 yr I could buy into DTrain being in the mix....not that I know, but he's the only Marlin I can even conceive of being considered "more valuable", at least with the season he put together last year. Along with the pinch hits and batting seventh and all that. Anyways, I'll only get to see the Marlins on the road in any games this season, but I'll chant MVP for Cabrera.
August 29, 200619 yr Cabs was 5th, Carlos was 6th, Train was 11th in MVP voting last year...and I was unaware, but Jason Vargas tied for 8th in ROY voting with 1 point. Hahahaha. link to all 2005 award voting

Between DTrain and Miguel I think DTrain had a better year but I can see someone going with Miguel. Between Delgado and Miguel the overall numbers were similar with Delgado getting a slight edge. With RISP Delgado blew him away. I say Delgado had the better year. Overall: AVG OBP SLG OPS Cabrera - .323 .385 .561 .947 Delgado - .301 .399 .582 .981 RISP: AVG OBP SLG OPS Cabrera - .322 .387 .508 .895 Delgado - .327 .447 .619 1.066 Dtrain - 22-10 / 2.63 ERA / 236.1 innings
August 29, 200619 yr Miggy's been incredible and I love that he's taken this leadership role. He seems to love his teammates and just looks so damn happy!
