Several people, including me, think that Cabrera is one of the most powerful among the Venezuelan hitters ever played in the majors, for he is able to blast the ball over the right field fence like a lefty, also he swings his bat very quickly so the pitchers have bad times trying to beat him with fastballs, there is no doubt he is dangerous at the plate, with a career Batting Average of 314, he is in the elite of Major League hitters.
This season he is having very important numbers, he has been on the run for the triple crown since the first week, right now he is first with 98 RBI's followed by A-Rod who has 97, he is second in Homers with 30, and second in Batting Average with 340 behind Josh Hamilton.
Those numbers make us think that Cabrera is also a strong candidate for the MVP award, but although Josh Hamilton does not have numbers as good as Cabrera his team is in the first place of the AL west division and there is a very good chance that they make it to the playoffs, and Detroit is 12 games behind in their division, so it will not be easy for cabrera to be the AL MVP this year, although it's still possible.
I still Remember the 2003 season when Florida called him up to the Majors and he blasted it in the playoffs, he had a great world series and impressed everybody when he hit a Home Run against Roger Clemens to the right field, he was one of the most importan pieces to beat the Yankees that year.
Let us see what happens at the end of the season, this guy is printing great numbers season by season, and if he keeps playing that way he is going to be among the greatests by the end of his career
