11:06 AM ET 03.12 | Ten or so pounds from now, Miguel Cabrera will be there. He'll be slimmed and toned and at the weight he and manager Jim Leyland agree will represent "baseball shape," as Leyland put it Friday, an hour before Cabrera got closer to his conditioning goal during a game against the Cardinals. Cabrera believes his ideal weight is 255-260, which he acknowledged Friday leaves him with probably 10 pounds to shed. Jim Leyland isn't offering any figures, but he seems to be in line with his first baseman.

C C Sabathia must have some Mexican blood in him. Being a fat tub of goo hasn't slowed him down.

Let me rephrase. Fat Mexicans and Fat Venezuelans are different how?

March 12, 2011  01:51 PM ET

cabrera, needs to focus on been able to remove the alcohol from his whole blood stream, and relearn how to drink any type of alcohol drinks without losing his control, in other words this guy doesn't know how to apply the old saying make sure you drink the beer and don't let the beer drink you!!

Hell no! I love those little light brown empanadas. Without them picking our fruit, how the hell would we make a waldorf salad?
