How good is Miguel Cabrera?

Good enough that jet lag means nothing to him, apparently. On Saturday, he was shaking hands and taking photos with fans at TigerFest in Detroit. By Monday, he was back in his native Maracay, Venezuela playing winter ball, and playing pretty well. He went 4-for-5 with two doubles and four RBIs, including a key go-ahead, two-run single in am eighth-inning rally that pushed his Tigers de Aragua past Andres Torres’ Oriente Caribes, 10-7.

When I asked Cabrera on Saturday whether he was done with winter ball, he said he might play four or five more games. I didn’t think he’d playing again so soon. But then, Aragua is on a six-game winning streak that has vaulted them atop the Venezuelan League in round-robin play thanks to Monday’s win. They’re basically a lock to get back to the league finals once again.
