Barry Bonds: Detroit Tigers’ Miguel Cabrera ‘the best’ ... but not better than me
(www.usatoday.com)
Seems as if The Barry Bonds Family Foundation has welcomed a new member.
Read More...“I don’t try to compare me to anybody,’’ Bonds said. “I was the best on the field. I did more things than he did. My game was different than his game. So comparing him, to me, there’s no comparison.
“He doesn’t have my MVPs. He doesn’t have my numbers. Well, not yet, anyways.
“But does he have that ability? Yes, he does.
“Does he have that gift? Yes, he does.’‘

With Drew, Peralta, and Gonzalez only being FAs if their teams decline the options.
Looking at that list, the Tigers almost certainly did the right thing.
A month ago, I was hoping for an upgrade for Jhonny P -- almost entirely for defensive reasons -- but I feel better about him after the past few weeks. And, really, there are no clearly better options unless you can somehow swing a trade for Andrus or Drew starts hitting again.
Good point.
I don't watch Detroit much, but he looked pretty damn slick against the Yankees in the ALCS.
Jhonny Peralta is not the best in the wooooorrlld.
Scutaro played a little bit of shortstop for the Rockies this year, and was horrible. He directly cost them this game, when the Rockies needed one more out to nail down the victory but Scutaro botched two consecutive routine grounders to short.
I know, he's a wonderful story, but he ain't a shortstop anymore.
