December 21, 200322 yr ok... Miguel has a lot of power...i wouldnt be surprised if he hits 30 hrs or more...where in the batting do u think were gonna put him? IMHO, 3rd... then followed by Lowell...
December 21, 200322 yr where in the batting do u think were gonna put him? 3rd or 5th. It depends. If Vlad or Javy comes, he will hit 5th. If not he will hit 3rd.
December 21, 200322 yr It depeneds who you acquire, but cabrera does strike out a lot and won't be able to bat 4th for long if mckeon chooses to. Will conine bat 4th though? Your pitching is going to have to win some games. Now that Castillo doesn't really steal bases well anymore, why not put a contact hitter 4th? Great for moving along runners.
December 21, 200322 yr McKeon had him batting clean-up in the WS. However, Lowell will be in full health next spring. Cabs could move to 3rd, Lowell 4th and Conine 5th.
December 21, 200322 yr It depeneds who you acquire, but cabrera does strike out a lot Don't let the OBP fool you. He swung at everything when he came up, and became very patient as the season went by.

He swung at everything when he came up, and became very patient as the season went by. Agreed. Cabs broke out of his slump by becoming more patient at the plate. He is only going to get better throughout 2004. He has already demonstrated the ability to spray the ball around....just what we need for the 3rd hitter behind JP and Luis. :thumbup

December 21, 200322 yr It depeneds who you acquire, but cabrera does strike out a lot Don't let the OBP fool you. He swung at everything when he came up, and became very patient as the season went by. yeah the difference between when he came up and at the end of the season was night and day. When he first came up he would get down 2 strikes and you knew he was going to strike out. By the end of the season he would get down 2 strikes and foul off a couple of pitches and then go the other way for a single. His progress was amazing.
December 21, 200322 yr Expect Cabrera to hit over .300 next year and more than 25 HRs :thumbup Don't expect too much then be dissapointed cause he hit 20 instead of 30...
December 21, 200322 yr wow cabs is going to get some good stuff to hit behind castillo and in front of lowell and conine.... just realized that
December 21, 200322 yr Expect Cabrera to hit over .300 next year and more than 25 HRs :thumbup Don't expect too much then be dissapointed cause he hit 20 instead of 30... Cabrera hit 12 HRs in 314 ABs last season. So it really isn't much of a stretch to predict 25 for a full season of 600 ABs.
December 21, 200322 yr wow. the numbers you guys are posting are all-star caliber numbers. I mean, if anyone loves Cabs, it's me but we have to stay realistic. I definitely think it's possible he can put up these types of numbers but you guys are almost expecting this out of him. this is a lot of pressure for a guy who hasn't even played a whole season yet. I'm not predicting anything. I'd rather just keep my mouth shut and see what happens before I make near Albert Pujols type of numbers guesses. On a lighter note, I'm sure he's gonna do great and I wish him the absolute best but I just hope the media doesn't hype him up as bad as they did Willis to the point that if Miggs doesn't do this and that, he's a one year (or a half a season) wonder..
