Detroit Tigers’ third-baseman Miguel Cabrera shows optimism ahead of next MLB season
Reports are coming in the media that the Detroit Tigers’ third-baseman is working hard before 2012 Major League Baseball season in order to display high spirited performance.
For his personal point of view, this might look obvious that he needed that level of committment in his game but the way news is coming of his training as he is going to come-up with a different approach next season, certainly looks positive on Cabrera’s side and for his team.
Lately, his team-mate, Alex Avila has also appreciated his commitment to the game and spoke publically about Cabrera and his hard work.
Avila said, “Since Prince Fielder signed, he's thrown himself into being a third baseman. It's all he's thinking about, you know, you can make up your mind that you're going to be able to do something, but in this situation, Miguel has thrown himself into doing everything he can to do the best job he can. And he turned himself into a pretty good player. He has good hands, a quick first step, and one of the better arms I've seen. Now he just has to get the footwork back because it's different at third. He's worked a lot on his foot quickness.”
Last year, Cabrera went with .344 hitting average along with 30 home-runs, 105 RBIs and .448 OBP receiving much admiration from many baseball experts. His career stats of .314 hitting average along with 277 homers, 984 RBIs and .395 OBP also remained consistent for over seven years.
In the meanwhile, the Tigers as one unit are also very excited to play in the next season. Some top executives along with the Tigers' general manager Dave Dombrowski have recently mentioned that the club is looking in good shape and before the seasons starts, they will be ready to give a hard time to their opponents.
On the other hand, Cabrera, Alex Avila and Justin Verlander will be the main players next season who posses abilities to out-do every team on their own. Last season as well, these three were exceptional and now once again the Tigers are depending on these particulars players especially on Miguel Cabrera.
