Baseball Fates, please note (please?): I’m just playing around here! None of these things will actually come to pass; it’s just a way of expressing how hot he’s been so far.

Miguel Cabrera finished Thursday’s game #45 with a .391 BA, .701 slugging, 1.168 OPS, 14 HRs, 55 RBI, 39 Runs, 72 hits, 129 total bases, and an OPS+ well north of 200.

Dotel, 39, is well-respected in the clubhouse and around the league.

Both of them, actually. The Tigers are his 13th (count 'em!) major league team.

Who else? Octavio Dotel of course.

True veteran leadership is all about attacking your team's best player in the press.

I'm pretty sure during the MVP voting writers clearly established Miggys credentials as a team leader.

Yes, the guy who maybe was the 2nd best player in all of baseball last year needs to be challenged to be 'better'.

Golf clap for #6. Very nice.

Ugh. Just start the season already.

Meh, Dotel is just angling to land on team #14.

#6 is awesome.

More praise for #6. Well played indeed.

He’s one of the few Tigers who has a World Series ring.

I thought of this as a trivia question for myself (which team did he win it with?). I guessed NY in 09, and was wrong.

I think he won it with his 29th team, the Cardinals.
