Miguel Cabera arrested for another DUI

Miguel Cabera arrested for another DUI

So Miguel Cabera of the Detroit Tigers who was one of top canadates for the AL MVP last season was spotted by a deputy 11o miles southeast of Lakeland, Florida in a car with motor running which is the area that the Detroit Tigers having been training for the start of spring training baseball. Sadly for Tigers fans sounds more like the 2009 Miguel who Tiger manager Jim Leyland did not know what to do with him as he was sat on the bench that season and more important he also was allegedly plaster beyond belief for the season finale and played. So back to the story Miguel when the deputy spoke to him the deputy said reeked of alcohol and had slurry speak and then to top it off he took a swig out of a bottle of scotch right in front of the deputy and backup had to be called as he was extremely uncooperative. This can not be a good sign even if the Tigers tried to trade for big Albert from St. Louis or what a set back for the team if this goes on for the season or if he is sent to rehab it will put him ready to start the season in May as he would be in rehab for a few weeks followed by a couple more weeks of late spring training to get his fielding back to where it needs to be and more importantly to get his bat back up to speed and that in total would be 30 to 40 games into the season before he takes a major league a bat. So in the end the Tigers will need to find someone to fill in for him and some one to pick up his production most likely Brandon Inge who is coming off a season that was less than expected after being on the final ballot for the all-star in '09 and the Tigers likely to have a tough beginning to the season but at least their in AL central where anyone not named the Kansas City Royals have a chance to win the division and a team coming from nowhere to win the division would not be to surprising.
