Picard56 1,509 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Don't call it a come back... Something, something, best shape of my life... something, something.... But seriously, he came to camp noticeably slimmer, almost looks to be the same size as when he first came up as a rookie. Blasted two far long homers in spring training. Any value to be had here? He can still hit, just the power disappeared for him last year. Maybe a healthier Cabrera, we are talking .290 with 20-24 homers this year, or just a pipe dream? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ADP is so low. Looks like he is completely forgotten. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kidtwentytwo 5,517 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 These all-timers don't forget how to hit, they just need to stay healthy. Everyone thought Chipper was cooked but he comes back after 2007 and posts three all-star seasons. Miggy is done being an MVP candidate, but he could be serviceable. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes people like to easily write off some old players, but I can remember a few that had good seasons after looking toast. Carlos Delgado is one that comes to mind when he hit 38 homers at age 36/37 I believe and Victor Martinez had a power surge with 32 homers at age 35 and 27 homers at age 37. I'm not saying Miggy is gonna have a resurgent season, but maybe someone to be keeping an eye on in case he does start off hot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cesare13 1,390 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Thanks for the report. This guy was so far off my radar i didnt bother checking anything. I was fooled by the "shape of his life" stuff 2 years ago. Although i dont discount the chance that he has a mini comeback as a result of extensive conditioning, what's the absolute ceiling here? .270 with 24 hrs or so? Those types are usually findable. I'd rather take a chance on a potential breakthrough like Honeywell,or de leon types in the hopes that I mine a giolito of we're at the end of a draft. Maybe even a guy who's a candidate to be a closer. These are the types of things I look for at the end of a draft,which is the only place I'd consider taking Cabrera. In a deep draft,or an AL only,everything changes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thenewwildone8 844 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 16 HR in 529 PA’s in 2017 Barely played in 2018 12 HR in 549 PA’s in 2019 I think you can get ready for some beef stew, the guy is cooked. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
davidgoretiz 360 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 As a Tigers fan, seeing how slim Miggy looks right now is pretty shocking. The weight loss is very noticeable. With that being said, I am expecting a good BA and not sure what else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cmilne23 10,559 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 He’s 100% washed. Don’t waste your time. He was healthy last year and even with a bouncy ball he couldn’t get it over the fence. He’s a singles hitter now. He could roll out of bed at age 45 and hit .275 because he’s that good of a hitter. But he’s an empty singles hitter in a horrid lineup. Zero upside. Would rather go for someone with an ounce of upside than him. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We might as well be discussing the value of having Willie Mays on our teams. This guy is done and should be retired. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Miggy is finished being an MVP candidate, however he may be serviceable. What in the hell? 1 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
