Take a look at Baseball Reference.com . The site lists player comparables historically. At this point Miguel Cabrera best comparable at his age is Hank Aaron. Top 8, perhaps not this year overall, but he is still a top 15 property minimum and will probably earn top 10 dollars from this point forward. Hindsight is 20/20 wouldn't you say. Never had over 34 homers or 120 RBI. Look at the park he played in. Look at the OBP of the players he played with. The Marlins struck out more last year than any other team. He will get hot. That is a given. He is too gifted a player to finish with his average. I would not be surprised if he hits .350 from here on out and that would make him a top 8 player I think. The Tigers entire team slumping was one of the biggest surprises in recent memory. I can't wait to drop my nuts on your head. Rotoscoop league on the way. Fantasy player.

RBI is a stat that's totally independent of skill level - and leaving Florida for Detroit should probably help him in that area. Only Albert Pujols has had as good of a start to a career as Cabrera, and at age 25, it's safe to assume he'll only get better. Anyway, I'll probably set up a RotoScoop fantasy football league, if for no other reason than to shut you up. I actually didn’t take Cabrera in any league this year, but his ADP was 5th.

What's changed since then? Not sure what type of leagues you play in, but it's doubtful there are more than 10 players I could deal and get MCab in return for in any of the ones I'm in. After six weeks of slightly disappointing play, how far have you knocked him down? If it's such a joke to consider him top-8, where do you have him? Top-25? Top-50?

Lakers could easily beat S.A. tho. Picking Spurs vs. Celtics wasn’t going out on a limb, but there were plenty different thoughts at the time.

YTP points is great when you have guys on your roster and/or are selling hig, but, when dealing with and for guys like Miggy, you can pretty much ignore YTD points. If you can find someone 'selling low' on Miggy, pounce. Even TheMediocreFantasyPlayer can understand that. “TOP 8??? what??? ???
