Not too long ago, it wasn't beyond reason to think 2015 would be the year Miguel Cabrera finally slipped from the ranks of Major League Baseball's elite hitters.
But now? Yeah, now that notion comes off as crazy talk. Rather than a hitter in decline, Cabrera is looking much more like his vintage self.
Through 12 games, the 32-year-old Detroit Tigers slugger is hitting .400 with a 1.084 OPS, numbers reminiscent of the height of his power from 2010 to 2013. And while these figures don't lead everyone else, FanGraphs puts Cabrera among the game's top 10 hitters in adjusted offense.
