¿Un Líder es un supermercado chileno, no?
Octavio Dotel, the Detroit Tigers’ veteran reliever, is still bothered over what he saw as a lack of leadership when Cabrera refused to agree to a team meeting after some devastating postseason defeats last October.
“You have to step up and say something,” Dotel told Yahoo! Sports. “Miggy’s more about his game. I don’t see him as a leader.”. . .
Dotel, 39, is well-respected in the clubhouse and around the league. He’s one of the few Tigers (along with Cabrera) who has a World Series ring. He was clear in stating Cabrera’s leadership on the field is beyond doubt. He compared the 2012 Triple Crown winner favorably with Albert Pujols and Alex Rodriguez, both former teammates. “If we didn’t have Miggy,” he said, “I don’t know what would happen to us. Miggy is special.”

1. RMc and His Roster of Rubbish Posted: February 20, 2013 at 09:10 AM (#4372436)Both of them, actually. The Tigers are his 13th (count 'em!) major league team.
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.
