Late Wednesday night, Miguel Cabrera was approximately 75 miles away from his home when his car stopped, and he pulled over because it was smoking. A police car pulled up to help him, finding him with slurred speech, smelling of alcohol, and glossy eyes. Cabrera was speaking to the officer and proceeded to take a swig of his bottle of whiskey. Miguel, when will you ever learn? In case you were unaware, this is not Cabrera's first encounter with the law in regards to drinking. He was also caught in 2009 but then sought after counseling and was said to be fine with this alcohol consumption. The Tigers were not necessarily ok with this, but they bailed him out and then placed him into the starting lineup. But this time Cabrera was charged with a DUI and resisting an officer without violence. As he was getting into the car, he proceeded to say, "Do you know who I am?" After his 2009 incident with the law, Cabrera recognized his problem and stated, "Drinking was a problem. Right now I feel really good. What happened last year is not gonna happen again. I feel like a new man. … It’s a beautiful life right now.” That was approximately 17 months ago, so is his problem on the rise? Last time he stated that he was working on his problem he hit .328 with 39 home runs and 126 runs batted in. So who's to say that he does not go on another MVP run like he did this year, something he could have done this year, if the Tigers did not completely collapse around him. Miguel Cabrera, you were great on my team last year, and I truly hope that you can sort out your problems before the season starts. You truly are an amazing player and a 1st round draft pick, so I wish you luck with whatever happens.
