Missing the Marlins
While Miguel Cabrera is happy in Detroit, he misses his Marlins teammates, and even the small crowds and rain delays. He didn't want to leave:
But, since he's asked, yes, he misses the Marlins. And, since he's asked, he never wanted to leave. And, since he's asked, he still doesn't believe they had to part with him.
"They called when they traded me and said, 'We don't have the money to pay you,' " he said. "...That's the excuse they give. They have money.
Yep. He's also happy the team is doing well:
"I said two or three years ago if they let us play together, we'll win," he said. "We grew up together. Now those guys have been around and know how to win. And look at them.
"They don't need me. They're better without me. Amezaga and Hanley talk to me and say, 'Roomie, come on back here.' I say, 'You don't need me.' Look at them. They're in first place."
They would be more likely to stay there with Miguel in the middle of the lineup.

Maybe that's why he doesn't run out ground balls?
Maybe he misses first place now that he's in last place.
